Bronny James’ schedule this year isn’t the same as what other NBA rookies will experience. The Los Angeles Lakers plan for him to play only for their G League South Bay Lakers in home games.

By playing only home games for South Bay, Bronny will not fly for the team’s road games, as ESPN’s Brian Windhorst reported on “The Hoop Collective” podcast.

According to Windhorst, the Lakers’ treatment of James, the son of superstar LeBron James, has ‘gone too far’.

“Honestly, I know he got somewhat special treatment and nepotism. That’s fine. I don’t care. It’s normal,” said Windhorst, who has covered LeBron since his days at St. Vincent-St. Mary High School, said. “Now I think it’s actually detrimental to him. I don’t like that. I don’t know whose idea it was. The Lakers are obviously fine with it. They’re doing it.”

“In this particular case, I think that went too far, and I don’t think it benefits Bronny. I don’t think it benefits the South Bay Lakers. And I don’t think it benefits LeBron at that point comes.”

LAKERS’ BRONNY JAMES SCORES FIRST CAREER NBA POINTS IN CLEVELAND

Father-son duo James became the first to share an NBA court together during the Lakers’ opening night victory over the Minnesota Timberwolves last month.

Since then, Bronny has been used sparingly by new head coach JJ Redick, playing minutes in six of the Lakers’ 10 games. Bronny scored a total of four points.

In his G League debut Saturday, Bronny recorded six points, four assists and three rebounds in 31 minutes.

Windhorst can’t ignore the fact that he won’t get the full G League experience to help develop Bronny.
