LeBron James accomplished one of his stated career goals last season, and it was perhaps one of his most impressive. In his 22nd season, James was able to suit up and play alongside his son, Bronny, for the Los Angeles Lakers. And after picking up his player option last week it seems James will do so again in the 2025–26 campaign.

The Los Angeles Lakers returned to Summer League action on Sunday with their highly anticipated matchup against the Miami Heat, and all eyes were on Bronny James as he made his 2025 Summer League debut. After sitting out Saturday’s opener against the Golden State Warriors, James stepped into the lineup looking to make an early impact.

Bronny’s second Summer League campaign comes on the heels of a rookie season in which he appeared in 27 games for the Los Angeles Lakers, including one start. He averaged 2.3 points per game while spending the majority of his time developing with the South Bay Lakers in the G League.
