They had already walked the floors together in preseason, but everyone was waiting to see when and how LeBron James and his son Bronny were going to be able to share the field “for real”, in the regular season.
Always very well informed about the “King”, Brian Windhorst of ESPN recommended watching the second quarter against the Wolves and, in fact, it was a little before halftime that JJ Redick launched the father and the son.
LeBron James and his son returned to the field together, to share a few minutes!
In front of the Griffeys, the first father/son duo to have played together in MLB, the James did not particularly spark on the field, the Wolves winning 7-2 in the passage, Bronny James missing an open 3-pointer and being countered by Rudy Gobert after taking an offensive rebound.
But history has been made, and JJ Redick can now think of other things. “We’ve had a few conversations about it.”, explained the Lakers coach. “I think everyone is on the same page. We want it to make sense and for it to happen naturally, in the rhythm of a match.”
