The Los Angeles Lakers now have LeBron James and Bronny James
In a move many saw coming, the Los Angeles Lakers drafted Bronny James on Thursday night with the 55th overall pick in the NBA Draft. The Lakers now have Bronny and his father LeBron James on the same roster, which is not only the first time this has happened in league history, but is the first time a father and son have even been in the NBA at the same time.
Shortly after it was announced that the Lakers would be making this selection, Memphis Grizzlies star Ja Morant shared his reaction to the news with a post on X :As previously mentioned, this is a move many saw coming, as James only worked out for the Lakers and Phoenix Suns in the pre-draft process.
It will be interesting to see what the Lakers plan to do with Bronny James, as players selected this late often spend time in the G League, which could be a possibility here. That said, it also would not be surprising to see James get some minutes for the Lakers this season.Title: Credentialed writer covering the NBA for Sports Illustrated's FanNation Email: joeylinn52@gmail.
