Bronny James and the Lakers will be looking to capture their first win of the summer as they kick off their Las Vegas Summer League run with a matchup against the Rockets on Friday.
James struggled offensively at the California Classic Summer League, averaging just 3.5 points per game while shooting 25 percent from the field. However, he did manage to make an impact on the defensive end of the floor, posting 1.5 steals and 1.5 blocks per game.
Now, the question is whether James, the No. 55 overall pick in this year’s NBA Draft, will be able to take a step forward against a different crop of opponents in Las Vegas. With reigning Las Vegas Summer League MVP Cam Whitmore and first-round pick Reed Sheppard expected to take the floor for the Rockets, James and the Lakers should have their hands full.
Here is everything you need to know ahead of James’ next NBA Summer League game, including how to watch Lakers vs. Rockets.
