Bronny James dodges massive injury scare after monster dunk in front of mom Savannah James

Lakers rookie and LeBron James' son Bronny James dodged a major injury in front of his mom, Savannah James, during Friday's G League game between South Bay and Valley Suns. In the fourth quarter of the game, Bronny attacked the rack full steam and slammed the ball with both his hands for a monster dunk.

However, the No. 55 pick couldn't hold onto the rim. He fell back first on the floor and took a while to get back up. Savannah James was sitting courtside when the brutal fall took place right in front of her eyes. Here's the clip:

Fortunately, Bronny was able to get back up and go to the bench. His mom, Savannah, didn't express much, but she would be relieved after her son managed to avoid a massive injury.

It would have been a major heartbreak for Bronny and his supporters as the Lakers rookie had one of his best games for South Bay. Bronny tallied 28 points and six rebounds on 12 of 23 shots. South Bay won 122-104 behind his heroics.

Bronny James also shrugged off any injury concerns, saying he's a "tough cookie."
