Did Bronny James play today?
The Los Angeles Lakers kicked off their season in spectacular fashion, as LeBron James and his son, Bronny James, made history by becoming the first father-son duo to play in an NBA game during their 110-103 victory over the Minnesota Timberwolves. In that game, Bronny logged three minutes and recorded one rebound, marking a memorable moment in NBA history.
Lakers vs. Suns Recap
In their second game of the season against the Phoenix Suns, the Lakers emerged victorious with a score of 123-116. Anthony Davis was the standout player, scoring 35 points to lead the team. However, Bronny did not see any action in this game. Despite being available and not listed on the injury report, Lakers head coach JJ Redick chose to keep the rookie on the bench.
Upcoming Games
The Lakers are facing a busy weekend with their first back-to-back games. After the game against the Suns, they will host the Sacramento Kings on Saturday. There’s a chance Bronny could get some playing time as the coaching staff might look to rotate their players to manage fatigue during the two-game stretch.

In his brief stint on the court during the season opener, Bronny missed both of his shot attempts and was not a regular part of the rotation, as he was the only player who did not play at least 11 minutes.
As the season progresses and the G League season approaches, Bronny’s playing time may be limited for now, but as long as he remains on the active roster, there’s always the potential for him to see more action based on game flow and coaching decisions. The Lakers are keen to build on their successful start, and fans will be watching closely to see if Bronny gets more opportunities in the upcoming games.
