Follow usBronny 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.
