Goodbye to Bronny James: disappointed fans find out where the focus lies
The eldest son of Los Angeles Lakers' living legend LeBron has been ruled out of the January appointment that had many excited.
The Capitanes CDMX basketball team, part of the NBA G League, will play two games against the South Bay Lakers, the Los Angeles Lakers’ affiliate, on January 3 and 4, 2025, at Arena CDMX in Mexico City. The announcement had generated excitement among Mexican fans of the purple and gold, fueled by speculation that Bronny James might join the visiting team for the games.
No Bronny for G League Capitanes
However, this has been ruled out, as LeBron James' eldest son is currently focused on duties with the Lakers’ main roster. He was seen on the bench during Los Angeles’ game against the Portland Trail Blazers at Crypto Arena.
Bronny has split his time between the Lakers' first team and their G League affiliate. In nine G League games, he has averaged 14.7 points, 4.4 rebounds, 4.2 assists, and 1.3 steals, shooting 28.3% from beyond the arc. On December 13, he recorded a career-high 30 points in a G League matchup.
