Bronny James’ Lakers future is murky after controversial cameo
NY Post
Bronny James’ feel-good moment with LeBron may be his last meaningful minutes for some time.
The orchestrated decision to have the father and son duo appear on the court together in a regular-season game led to three minutes of game action together and bothered some in the media who labeled it “a complete sideshow and disrespectful to game.”
Bronny appeared in the first half and missed both shot attempts as the Lakers were outscored by five points.
The 20-year-old did not appear again in the Lakers’ 110-103 win over the Timberwolves.
It is unlikely the second-round pick will be a part of the Lakers’ regular rotation going forward as the veteran team competes for a playoff spot in the Western Conference.
The younger James is considered a long-term investment after he had one mediocre season at USC that followed a cardiac arrest incident during a preseason practice.
