Bronny James is the newest attraction on the Lakers, selected by the franchise with the 55th pick in the 2024 NBA Draft. The son of LeBron James, arguably a top-five NBA player of all time, Bronny will have major shoes to fill as he agreed to a four-year, $7.9 million rookie contract Wednesday.
What comes with it includes the star and intrigue of his last name, as James joins a Lakers team that recently appointed JJ Redick as the new coach and attempts to turn the franchise around.
Fans will get their first look at the younger James in a Lakers uniform in the NBA Summer League, which occurs over three weekends from July 6 to July 22. The Lakers will play games in San Francisco and Las Vegas during that span, and James figures to be the player everyone is watching.
