Bronny James has been assigned to the Lakers' G League affiliate, South Bay, with plans to debut Saturday, while still retaining a spot on the Lakers roster.
Lakers coach JJ Redick confirmed that the strategy of having Bronny shuttle between the Lakers and South Bay was established from the beginning of his tenure with the team.
Rich Paul, Bronny's representative, sought a standard contract before the draft and emphasized a willingness to engage in the development process through G League play.
Typically, second-round draft picks, like Bronny, spend time in the G League to develop skills, as evidenced by 23 of 28 players drafted in the 2023 second round.
