The Los Angeles Lakers sent Bronny James to the G League, where he needs to find an offensive role.
The Los Angeles Lakers have assigned 22-year-old guard Bronny James to the G League's Coachella Valley Lakers alongside rookie Cameron Carr. James played just 12 minutes across the Lakers' first nine games of the season following a challenging preseason where head coach JJ Redick tested him at backup point guard.
