LA Lakers rookie guard Bronny James continues to have a difficult time in the NBA Summer League. All eyes were on James as the Lakers took on the Miami Heat for his second game of the competition.
James recorded three points, five rebounds and three steals, while shooting 1-of-3 from the field and 1-of-2 from the free throw line. Defensively, he played better as he had two steals and three blocks. The point guard stayed on the floor for 28 minutes. The Lakers lost to the Heat, 80-76.
James finished his first Summer League game against the Sacramento Kings with four points on 2-of-9 shooting from the field. While he was aggressive in making shot attempts, his shots weren’t going in.
Fans waited to see him in action in the Lakers’ second game, which was against the Golden State Warriors. Unfortunately, the young prospect didn’t get to play as he had knee swelling.
The Lakers signed James to a four-year rookie deal worth $7.9 million. According to reports, his deal has a guaranteed $5.4 million and he cannot be traded until Dec. 15, 2025. The last year of his deal will be a team option.
Given that he signed a good deal for a second-round pick, the team expects him to produce well on the floor.
The next Summer League game for the Lakers will be on Friday against the Houston Rockets.
