Bronny James Stats Tonight: LeBron James' son makes compelling case to Lakers HC JJ Redick for rotation minutes after torching Clippers (Jul. 14) 

LeBron James' son Bronny James was in action in Monday's 2025 NBA Summer League slate with his dad, multiple Lakers' teammates and coach JJ Redick in attendance. Bronny made the most of the opportunity to impress his main roster's leadership group with an explosive start.

He lit up the crosstown matchup with the Clippers, beginning the proceedings with a 3 from the top of the key on the first possession. By the end of his first shift in the opening quarter, Bronny had five points and an assist in 3:55 minutes. He was 2 of 2 from the floor.

Bronny's exit proved costly for the Lakers as the Clippers went on a 10-0 run, giving them a 19-10 lead. Once Bronny returned in the second quarter, the Lakers played better offensively, while their defense remained woeful. After his second shift, Bronny had 10 points, two rebounds and two assists on 3 of 3 shooting in 7:38 minutes. He was a +/- +2.

For his third basket, he hit a difficult stepback 3 from the right wing. The Clippers continued to have a nine-point advantage.

Bronny James remained on fire throughout the rest of the first half. He shot 100.0% from all three levels, entering the locker room with 12 points, four rebounds, three assists, one turnover and one foul. Bronny shot 4 of 4, including 2 of 2 from the 3-point line and 2 of 2 from the free throw line. He was a team-best +/ - +8 in 10:55 minutes, while the Lakers trailed 32-31.

Bronny's hot shooting cooled off slightly in the third as he missed his two attempts from the floor. Nevertheless, he was engaged in keeping the Lakers' offense afloat with his playmaking. He added two more assists to his box score and another rebound, improving his +/- to +9.

Bronny James added five points in the final quarter, shooting 2 of 4. He ended the night with a team-high 17 points, five rebounds and five assists, shooting 6 of 10, including 3 of 5. He was a +/- +5.

However, the Lakers lost the low-scoring contest 67-58 as everyone else, except Cole Swider, struggled.

Bronny James proves JJ Redick he's ready for rotation minutes for Lakers

Bronny James made a compelling case to earn rotation minutes in his second year. With Lakers coach JJ Redick watching from the sidelines, it was the ideal timing for Bronny to have his best 2025 Summer League outing.

Despite the rushed nature of play in these games, Bronny looked composed and contributed in multiple ways to emerge as the team's best player on a night where almost everyone dissapointed.

His offense was one of the things holding him back from playing a key role last season, but if he can shoot this efficiently on the main roster, Bronny may earn a significant role off the bench.
