Bronny James Returns with a Bang: Career-High Performance and Show-Stopping Dunk Ignite G League Fans
Los Angeles Lakers rookie Bronny James, the son of NBA legend LeBron James, returned to action after missing nine games due to a left heel contusion. Playing for the South Bay Lakers in the G League, Bronny faced off against the San Diego Clippers on Saturday, marking his first appearance since November 10 against the Toronto Raptors.
Entering the game with two previous G League outings, Bronny had been searching for his rhythm, having shot just 21.1% from the field (4-of-19) in prior games. However, he made a strong statement early, electrifying fans with a two-handed dunk in the first quarter. The highlight quickly gained traction on social media, with fans rallying behind the young guard’s potential.
“He’s gonna be good in 2-3 years, just watch,” one fan commented online. Others praised his performance, noting he was South Bay’s leading scorer during the game with eight points early on.
By halftime, Bronny had already set a new career-high in G League play with 10 points, adding two rebounds and one assist to his stat line. His strong showing helped South Bay maintain a narrow 58-57 lead at the break.
Fans continued to cheer him on, with one urging the Lakers to call him up, and another suggesting he join them for an upcoming game in Cleveland. Despite early shooting struggles, Bronny’s effort and energy have shown glimpses of his potential, leaving fans excited about his growth as a professional.
