Dave McMenamin: JJ Redick on Anthony Davis: “He was having trouble seeing.” He didn’t have an update on Davis’ left eye injury beyond that. -via Twitter @mcten / November 11, 2024

Bronny James made his debut with his other team on Saturday, suiting up for the G League South Bay Lakers' season opener in front of a sold-out crowd. Some of those fans included his father LeBron, the rest of their family and teammate Anthony Davis. As for James' performance against the Salt Lake City Stars, it was a quiet night. The second-round pick finished with six points on 2-of-9 shooting (0-for-4 from 3-point range) with four assists, three rebounds and five turnovers. He was a minus-one in a 110-96 South Bay win. -via Yahoo! Sports / November 9, 2024
