Bronny James Earns First-Quarter Minutes Alongside Luka Doncic
3 Nov
Summary
- Bronny James played 4 minutes in the first quarter
- Bronny had 2 points and 1 assist on 1 of 2 shots
- Bronny's only field goal came off an alley-oop set up by Reaves
On November 3rd, 2025, the LA Lakers faced off against the Miami Heat, and Bronny James, the son of NBA superstar LeBron James, earned some valuable playing time. Bronny, who was previously a second-round pick, was utilized by the Lakers as an additional ball handler on the court due to the Heat's intense on-ball pressure.
At the time, the Lakers had rested their other two primary playmakers, Austin Reaves and Marcus Smart, who had started alongside Luka Doncic. This presented an opportunity for Bronny to showcase his skills, and he made the most of it.
Bronny looked comfortable during his 4-minute run in the first quarter, which extended into the second quarter. In that frame, he managed to score 2 points and record 1 assist, shooting 1 of 2 from the field. His only field goal came off an alley-oop set up by Reaves.
Bronny returned for another 3-minute stint before the half ended, but his box score did not change much, aside from the addition of a rebound. Despite the limited playing time, Bronny's performance was a positive sign for the Lakers, who are looking to develop their young talent.
