No, Bronny James will not be playing in the Lakers' game against the Trail Blazers while in the G League as his NBA future remains uncertain.
Bronny James will not play in the Los Angeles Lakers' NBA Cup matchup against the Portland Trail Blazers on Friday after being assigned to the G League. The team announced that James and rookie teammate Cameron Carr have been sent to the Coachella Valley Lakers. James is instead expected to feature in Coachella Valley's season opener on Friday night, ruling him out of action for the parent club.
The assignment comes amid persistent questions surrounding James' future in Los Angeles, where he has averaged just 0.8 points in 2.4 minutes across five appearances this season. With head coach JJ Redick overseeing a crowded backcourt rotation, James has recently been discussed in media reports as a potential trade or waive candidate as the Lakers explore roster upgrades.
