The Los Angeles Lakers made the decision Wednesday to assign rookie guard Bronny James, son of LeBron James, to the G-League, according to ESPN’s Shams Charania.

Bronny, 20, will join the South Bay Lakers on Saturday. He is expected to remain on the roster for Los Angeles through Friday’s game against the Philadelphia 76ers before joining the franchise’s G-League affiliate. James only plays home games for South Bay and could alternate regularly between the NBA and the G-League, according to Charania.

Bronny, one of coach JJ Redick’s last options off the bench, has played four games for the Lakers this season. He is averaging 3.3 minutes per game and recording 1.0 points, 0.3 rebounds and 0.5 assists per game.

His most recent appearance came during Wednesday night’s loss to the Memphis Grizzlies. James saw just over four minutes of playing time and went 0-for-2 from the field. He scored two points and committed one personal foul.

The Lakers selected Bronny in the second round with the No. 56 pick in this year’s draft. Bronny and LeBron made history when they took the court together in the season opener against the Minnesota Timberwolves.

The move to the G-League certainly makes sense if Bronny hopes to further his development and potentially become a mainstay in the NBA. With limited opportunities available for the rookie in LA, he will have a chance to play more meaningful minutes in the G-League.
