Bronny James and Cameron Carr Head to G League

Bronny James and Cameron Carr have been assigned to the Coachella Valley Lakers, the G League affiliate of the Los Angeles Lakers. This move comes ahead of the Coachella Valley Lakers' season opener against the Salt Lake City Stars on November 6, 2026. The primary reason for the assignment is to grant both players increased playing time, as they have struggled to secure significant minutes with the main NBA roster.

Cameron Carr, the 24th pick in the June 2026 NBA draft, has played a mere four minutes and taken only one shot since his debut. Despite impressing in exhibition games, scoring 19 points against the Kings on October 5, his regular season NBA opportunities have been scarce due to a strained right oblique. Bronny James, son of Lakers legend LeBron James, has also seen limited action, accumulating just 12 minutes across five games. James previously spent substantial stretches in the G League during his first two seasons.

In related news, the Lakers recalled second-year forward Adou Thiero from the G League in anticipation of their upcoming game against the Trail Blazers.
