The L.A. Lakers faced off against the Milwaukee Bucks on Thursday, and did so very shorthanded. The Lakers were without LeBron James, Luka Doncic, Jaxson Hayes and Rui Hachimura, opening up minutes for Bronny James.
As the 55th pick in the draft, Bronny gets as much media coverage as any rookie in the league, and despite the blowout loss, he had a career-best performance. He led the Lakers in scoring and assists as he finished with 17 points, three rebounds and five assists on 70% shooting.
