In the Los Angeles Lakers' regular season finale, a 109-81 loss to the Portland Trail Blazers, Bronny made the first start of his NBA career. He played 38 minutes, going 2 for 10 from the field and scoring four points. He added three rebounds, six assists, and four steals.

In his highly scrutinized first professional season, James averaged 5.5 minutes over 26 games. The son of future Hall of Fame forward LeBron James put up 2.2 points, 0.6 rebounds and 0.6 assists per game while scoring 21.9 points per game for the G-League's South Bay Lakers.

Bronny James earned his first career start in the NBA on Sunday. It didn't exactly go to plan. The rookie guard finished with just four points on 2-of-10 shooting from the field, adding six assists, four steals and three turnovers in the Los Angeles Lakers' 109-81 loss against the Portland Trailblazers.
