- Lakers lose 118-104 to Philadelphia 76ers
- LeBron James says son and teammate still learning
Bronny James struggled badly as he was torched by Tyrese Maxey any time they were remotely matched up during the Los Angeles Lakers’ 118-104 loss to the Philadelphia 76ers on Tuesday night.
His box score wasn’t any better: Bronny was scoreless for the Lakers, missed three three-pointers, all five of his shots overall and had three turnovers. Bronny had looked like he had been coming into some form: he played 15 minutes for the Lakers just four days after he dropped a career-high 31 points for the South Bay Lakers of the G League.
“Maybe put him in a tough spot, flying out yesterday, nationally televised game and all that stuff,” Lakers coach JJ Redick said. “He didn’t play well. But he’s been playing great in the stay-ready games and he’s been playing great in the G. I have confidence but obviously didn’t provide that at a high level.”
His father and teammate knows Bronny still has plenty to learn in the NBA.
