LeBron James' son was drafted this summer to form father-son duo next season in Los Angeles

Bronny James showed his potential again but struggled with his shooting in his debut game for the Los Angeles Lakers on Saturday, scoring four points on two-for-nine shooting as the Lakers lost 108-94 to the Sacramento Kings in their Summer League matchup.

The 19-year-old son of NBA legend LeBron James scored his first points since being drafted last month with a driving layup off the glass in the second quarter. His second basket came in the third quarter when he used a behind-the-back dribble to create space and hit a pull-up jumper from 15 feet.

In addition to his four points, Bronny contributed two rebounds, two assists, and a steal in 21 minutes of play in San Francisco. A highly-touted high school player, Bronny played one season at the University of Southern California (USC) before it was cut short by a cardiac arrest last year.

LeBron, who is entering his 22nd season and holds the title of the NBA’s all-time leading scorer, has expressed a desire to play alongside his son, a feat no father-son duo has achieved in the league.
