Bronny In The NBA

Bronny (who was picked 55th in the 2024 NBA Draft) has had limited playing time in JJ Redick’s rotation.

Right now, he is averaging 2.1 points and 1.2 assists per contest while shooting 39.7% from the field and 41.4% from three-point range in 31 NBA games this season.

Continuing to get playing time with South Bay will be significant for Bronny’s development as a pro guard.

He is only 21.

Looking Ahead For Lakers

The Lakers are the fifth seed with a 39-25 record in 64 games.

They will host the Minnesota Timberwolves on Tuesday night.
