Bronny James scored his first NBA basket for the Los Angeles Lakers during a 134-110 loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers. The Cavaliers continued their winning streak, with Evan Mobley leading the way with 25 points and Donovan Mitchell adding 24, marking their best start to a season since 2016-17.
Bronny, 20, and his father LeBron James, 39, made history last week as the first father-son duo to play together in an NBA game during the Lakers' season opener against the Minnesota Timberwolves.
Bronny reflected on the experience, saying, "It was insane. Much more than I anticipated for sure. It was a nice moment. The chants really got me. I was straight-faced but I felt it. It felt pretty good, especially coming from here. It was a special moment for me."
LeBron expressed his pride, stating, "To see him get his first NBA basket in this arena, where he grew up not too far from here - it's an unbelievable moment."
Bronny entered the game with just over five minutes remaining and scored his first points with a step-back, 14-foot jumper over Tristan Thompson. He also attempted a three-pointer in the final minute but missed. LeBron contributed with 26 points, six rebounds, and six turnovers.
