Bronny James and the Lakers are set to continue their preseason schedule against the Suns on Sunday.
The rookie guard made his Los Angeles debut Friday in a loss to the Timberwolves. James only scored two points in 16 minutes of action, but he added three blocks to go with one rebound and one assist on 1-for-6 shooting from the field.
The 20-year-old didn’t get the opportunity to suit up with his father, LeBron, who sat out in the preseason opener. The Lakers have not announced if LeBron will play Sunday against the Suns, so Bronny may have to wait even longer to take the floor with his dad.

Bronny James highlights in Lakers vs. Suns
Bronny and LeBron made history as the first father-son duo to ever play in an NBA game together during the Lakers’ second preseason game.

The two didn’t remain on the court together for very long, though. Bronny struggled on the offensive end, coughing up three turnovers in just four minutes of action. He also missed all three of his shot attempts.
Before the game, Lakers head coach JJ Redick said the moment would happen “in the flow of the game” and that it wouldn’t be “gimmicky,” per ESPN’s Ramona Shelburne.
Redick upheld that statement, allowing Bronny and LeBron to share that moment before pulling the younger James after a tough stint on the court.
