Bronny James scores 31 points in career-best G League performance — including poster jam

The Bronny James experiment appears to be going well for the Lakers as the rookie turned in a career-best performance in the G-League including a poster jam.

James has been going back and forth between the Lakers and the G-League and with Los Angeles starting a six-game road trip, LeBron James son was back with the South Bay Lakers.

He gave the fans at UCLA Health Training Center in Los Angeles quite the show on Friday night in a 122-101 win over the Rip City Remix to improve South Bays record to 2-7.

Bronny James finished with a career-high 31 points, including 5 of 11 shooting from behind the arc in his first game with the team since Dec.

His night was highlighted by a thunderous dunk on Sterling Manely after dribbling around a screen by Christian Koloko to tie the game at 80-all and spark a quick 9-4 South Bay run.

Im just trying to get my confidence back, Bronny James said in an on-court interview .

Im just trying to play my game.

Learn from every game.

While Im not playing in the G League, learn from the Lakers, learning from my vets and just keep trying to be myself.

Thats been working recently.

Im happy with my results.

LeBron James loved what he saw from his son, posting GRATEFUL OF YOU KID!! to his X account after the game.

He and Bronny became the first father and son to play in an NBA game together.

Bronny James is averaging 14.7 points, 4.4 rebounds and 4.3 assists in seven G-League games.

He has appeared in five games for the Lakers and is averaging 0.3 points per game in just 11 minutes of play.

Quincy Olivari chipped in 20 points and seven rebounds off the bench for South Boy and Alex Reese dropped a game-high 32 points for Rip City.

If Bronny James were to rejoin the Lakers, it likely wouldnt happen until they return to Los Angeles for a road game against the rival Clippers on Feb.
