Why did the Lakers send Bronny James to the G League? Here's the answer.
Los Angeles Lakers rookie guard Bronny James will suit up in the G League for the South Bay Lakers, which was not unexpected.
After sharing the court with his father LeBron on Opening Night and then later scoring his first basket in the NBA, the 20-year-old will also play in the developmental league with the Lakers' G League affiliate.
It is the correct decision for everyone involved and even has fans excited to check out the South Bay Lakers as his first game is already sold out. But why is the first-year pro no longer playing alongside his father?
BRONNY JAMES: Sending him to the G League is the right move for the Lakers and for him
Bronny will reportedly only play in home games for the South Bay Lakers, alternating his time between the G League and the NBA.
While this isn't necessarily the most logical path for Bronny to split time between the two rosters, his experience with South Bay will have tons of value.
It isn't uncommon for a second-round pick to predominantly play in the G League, especially for someone who is as young as Bronny who did not get a surplus of collegiate experience in the NCAA.
