    Los Angeles Lakers guard Bronny James made his G League debut on Saturday night.

    He also recorded three rebounds, four assists, two steals and a block. James missed all four of his three-point attempts and shot 2-5 from the arc.

    James started off strong, hitting a pull-up jumper that represented South Bay’s first points of the night.

    On South Bay’s first possession, Bronny James hits a pull-up jumper off a kickout pass from Quincy Olivari for his first points in the G League.

    Despite the inconsistent offensive performance, he showed his potential during the first half, when he made a floater off the dribble and threw a lob to teammate Kylor Kelley.

    The 20-year-old’s South Bay debut drew a star-studded crowd that included Anthony Davis and the rest of the James family, as well as the Lakers general manager. Rob Pelinka.

    Quincy Olivari, who signed a two-way contract with the Lakers on Oct. 19, finished with a team-high 28 points on 8-19 shooting.

    With the No. 55 overall pick in the 2024 NBA draft out of head coach JJ Redick’s rotation on a Los Angeles team with playoff aspirations, the Lakers assigned James to the G League on Thursday to give him more playing time.

    He is expected to play only in G League home games when rotating between the two teams, according to ESPN’s Shams Charania.

    South Bay’s next home game is Nov. 17 against the Stockton Kings.
