EL SEGUNDO, Calif. (AP) – Bronny James started and scored six points in his first G League game as the South Bay Lakers beat the Salt Lake City Stars 110-96 Saturday.

James — the 20-year-old son of LeBron James — was 2-for-9 from the field, including 0-for-4 on 3-pointers. The 6-foot-3 guard also had three rebounds, four assists, two steals and a blocked shot.

LeBron watched the game from courtside seats on the opposite side of the main stands with his wife, Savannah, and their 10-year-old daughter, Zuri. Gloria James, Bronny’s grandmother, was also in attendance, along with Anthony Davis, D’Angelo Russell and Lakers general manager Rob Pelinka.

LeBron and Lakers coach JJ Redick have repeatedly said that Bronny will spend a lot of time this season in the G League as he works on his game. The Lakers affiliate plays its games at the team’s practice facility.

Bronny played in five games for the Lakers, scoring four points in a combined 14 minutes of action. He was in the final 1:28 of the Lakers’ 116-106 victory over the Philadelphia 76ers on Friday night.

LeBron and Bronny made NBA history on Oct. 22 when they became the first father and son to play together during the Lakers’ season-opening win over Minnesota.

Saturday marked the most action Bronny has seen in a game since the Lakers’ preseason finale against Golden State on Oct. 18, when he played 35 minutes and scored 15 points.

Bronny scored on its opening possession, hitting a pull-up jumper 43 seconds into the game. His other basket was a floater in the lane during the second quarter.

He also had a free throw in the fourth quarter. The G League has an experimental free throw rule this season, where a foul shot could be worth two or three points for any foul not in the final two minutes, which would typically result in two or three free throws.

Late in the first quarter, Bronny got a smart lob pass to Kylor Kelley for an alley-oop.

Midway through the second quarter, Bronny partially blocked Isaiah Wong’s layup before Quincy Olivari grabbed the rebound. Maxwell Lewis finished with a 3-pointer at the other end of the court to put the Lakers up 40-28.

The younger James was the 55th overall pick in the 2024 NBA draft in June after averaging 4.8 points and 2.8 rebounds in 25 games for Southern California last season.
