Bronny James, who signed with the Los Angeles Lakers after being selected in the 2024 NBA Draft, is expected to split his time between the NBA team and its G League affiliate, the South Bay Lakers. After initially playing a few games with the Lakers, Bronny will spend most of his rookie season in the G League to develop his skills in a less pressurized environment. The Lakers and South Bay Lakers both train in the same facility, allowing for flexibility as he moves between the two teams for game experience and targeted practice sessions.
Despite being a second-round pick, Bronny’s contract is fully guaranteed, unusual for a player drafted so late. This setup allows him to receive NBA-level compensation while focusing on refining his shooting, decision-making, and other areas of his game in the G League. He made his G League debut recently, contributing six points, three rebounds, and four assists, showing potential for growth.
According to ESPN’s Brian Windhorst, Bronny will only play home games for the G-League and will not travel on the road.
According to Dave McMenamin the Lakers haven’t went on the record saying that Bronny won’t play on the road.
If Bronny doesn’t play on the road it will stunt his growth as an NBA player and won’t calm the waters of people who think that Bronny is just a make a wish draft pick.
