"Bronny legacy game," a fan commented.

"Bronny showtime," commented another fan.

JJ Redick might recall Bronny James amid injury woes

Six Lakers players, including four starters, are listed on the injury report ahead of their game against the Clippers. LeBron James (left foot injury management) and Luka Doncic (left calf injury management) are both listed as probable and are expected to be upgraded to "available" before tip-off, barring any last-minute setbacks.

Austin Reaves (right calf strain) and Jordan Goodwin (right ankle sprain) are listed as doubtful, while Rui Hachimura (left patellar tendinopathy) and Maxi Kleber (right foot surgery recovery) have been ruled out.

As for Bronny James, the Lakers rookie was not part of the roster that faced the Clippers on Friday. The former USC guard played with the South Bay Lakers but had a tough outing, scoring 16 points on 6 of 19 shooting, including 4 of 14 from beyond the arc.

With head coach JJ Redick dealing with several injury concerns to key players, there's a strong possibility that Bronny could be recalled to join the Purple and Gold. However, the South Bay Lakers are also scheduled to play against the San Diego Clippers on Sunday.
