Fresh off making his G League debut with the South Bay Lakers on Saturday night, Bronny James is only going to be a part-time player for the club

Bronny James is getting more special treatment from the Lakers. LeBron’s eldest son, whom the Lakers took late in the second round of this year’s NBA draft, will only be playing in G League home games and won’t be getting on commercial flights for the South Bay Lakers’ road contests,

The Lakers drafting Bronny James was always going to become a sideshow for Los Angeles this season when it came to LeBron, but new information about Bronny’s G League assignment is beyond the pale. ESPN’s Brian Windhorst reports that the Lakers rookie is getting phenomenal star treatment during his time with the South Bay Lakers of the G League.

After LeBron James and his son Bronny James made history to start the season as the NBA's first father-son duo, Bronny is getting reps in with the franchise's G League affiliate, the South Bay Lakers.

Brian Windhorst hasn't minded how the Los Angeles Lakers have handled Bronny James until a recent move. The rookie played in five games for the Lakers, beginning the season by sharing the court with LeBron to become the first father-son teammates in NBA history.
