LeBron James’ son, Bronny James (LA Lakers), who joined the Los Angeles Lakers of the National Basketball Association (NBA), made his court debut through the Summer League.
Bronny, who played on the same team as his father, started as a point guard against the Sacramento Kings in the NBA Summer League at Chase Center in San Francisco, California on the 7th (Korea time), played 21 minutes and 43 seconds, recording four points, two rebounds, and one steal.
Bronny, who was previously drafted by the Lakers with the 55th overall pick in the NBA Draft, signed a four-year, $7.9 million contract. He played his first professional game in the Summer League on the day.
Bronny received the most attention at the game, which took place at the Golden State Warriors’ home stadium. According to foreign media, spectators cheered for Bronny while watching him with interest.
“It was a big game for me,” Bronny said. “I didn’t know Golden State fans would cheer for me. So the atmosphere was better than I expected.”
Bronny, who went scoreless in the first quarter, made a layup 5:51 before the end of the second quarter and scored his first professional debut.
However, Bronny’s shots on the day were inaccurate. He threw nine field throws, including three three-point shots, and only two of his field throws passed the rim, and he missed both of his free throws. His field throw success rate was only 22.2 percent.
The team was also routed 94-108 by Sacramento. 메이저사이트
