LeBron James' wife, Savannah James, didn't take too long to acknowledge their son, Bronny James' new Lakers' milestone. Representing the team's G League affiliate, South Bay Lakers, after a near-month-long injury hiatus, Bronny returned to drop an NBA and G League career-high 16 points in the team's 119-111 win over the San Diego Clippers.
Bronny scored 16 points, including 10 in the first half on 3 of 7 shots. He finished the night making six shots on 15 attempts. Bronny kept his game plan simple, which was to attack the rim and be aggressive with his scoring. It worked in his favor. Here's how his mother, Savannah, reacted to his career night:
Bronny endured a rough stretch to begin his NBA career. His G League performances also weren't up to par in his previous outings. It would be a relief for him, his father, LeBron and his mother, Savannah James, to hit the ground running after a lengthy break.

Bronny James was out since Nov. 10 with a heel injury until Saturday's comeback against the San Diego Clippers in the G League.
LeBron James' wife, Savannah James, hopes to see Bronny James and her kids in the Olympics
With LeBron James potentially playing his final Olympics tournament for Team USA this past summer in Paris, his wife, Savannah James, is seemingly hoping to see her three kids represent the country at the international level. While discussing her trip to the European country to show support for her husband and the Team USA, Savannah looked back on the experience as her last for a while.
“Looking at the fact that this would be the last time that we would have an experience where their dad would be playing in the Olympics or anybody, until maybe Bronny gets called up, or Bryce gets called up, or maybe even Zuri playing volleyball.
"But yeah, that’s the last time for a while. We'll be spectators up until then," Savannah said on Nov. 19 episode of her podcast, "Everybody's Crazy."
Bronny James has already made it to the pros, but his journey might be slightly different from that of his dad. He will have to make drastic growth over the next few years to earn the Olympics call-up.
Meanwhile, Bryce James is still in high school, and Zhuri James is in fourth grade, so the James family may have to wait a long time until they attend the Olympics to support one of their own other than Team USA.
