Bronny James got another run with the LA Lakers in garbage time amid their 21-point blowout loss to the Dallas Mavericks on Tuesday night. Bronny entered with 1 minute left. However, he didn’t have any box score impact. LeBron James’ eldest son was a +/- -4 in his 61 seconds of action.
The Lakers suffered one of their worst losses of the season against a Mavericks team, which was without Luka Doncic, Kyrie Irving and Daniel Gafford, their three key starters. Dallas was also on a five-game losing streak. However, the Lakers failed to maximize that, having most of their active rotation players available.
The game ended 118-97. P.J. Washington dropped 22 points and eight rebounds, while Quentin Grimes had 23 points, nine rebounds and six assists off the bench.

Bronny James’ G League absence continues
Bronny James has missed another G League game for the South Bay Lakers. Since the second-round pick was on the Lakers’ current road trip to Texas for games against the Rockets and Mavericks, he wasn’t able to suit up for the home contest against the Delaware Blue Coats on Tuesday.
Prior to that contest, Bronny also missed Mexico games. He stayed back with the Lakers instead. With LA returning home on Thursday, Bronny could join the team’s G League affiliate soon and play against the Stockton Kings on the road on Friday.
He was having a terrific run with South Bay before rejoining the Lakers. Bronny averaged 19.0 points, 8.0 rebounds and 5.0 assists, shooting 46.2% from 3 in two G League games and 13.4 ppg, 3.1 rpg and 3.4 apg in seven Tip-off tournament games.
Bronny James has been rediscovering his rhythm with the South Bay Lakers after an inconsistent run since his college debut. His cardiac arrest health scare in August 2023 didn’t just limit him physically, but mentally, too.
Bronny has spoken about it openly, too. However, after regaining his confidence with a prolonged run with the South Bay Lakers, Bronny seems to have picked up his game well.
