LeBron James' son Bronny James expected to play in NBA Summer League
NBA Summer League will be the first chance for fans and analysts to see the top prospects from the 2024 draft class in action against other pros. Among those slated to take the floor is LeBron James' son, Bronny James.
Bronny was one of the most talked about prospects from the 2024 class given his connection to one of the game's biggest stars. He did end up hearing his name called, landing with the LA Lakers at No. 55.
During the Lakers' introductory press conference for their draft picks, head coach JJ Redick spoke on NBA Summer League. While he won't be coaching, Bronny and fellow draftee Dalton Knecht are expected to play.
Despite being one of the last picks in the draft, Bronny signed a multi-year deal with the Lakers that is fully guaranteed. Now, the pressure is on him to silence his critics.
Since being drafted, the nepotism narrative has been hung over his head. While many agree he was only drafted because of his father, Bronny has an opportunity to prove he belongs in the league. The first step in doing so is performing well at Summer League. If he can kick off his pro career with positive momentum, he might be able to keep his critics at bay for some time.
