The Los Angeles Lakers have made it clear that their focus is on the future by prioritizing Luka Doncic arrival. This shift could open the door for young players like Bronny James, LeBron James’ son.

So, while the elder James will be jet-setting out to the rat-infested Paris of the West to buddy up with the league’s other All-Stars — including the first Knickerbocker starting duo in 50 years — his first-born will be at home. Or, more likely, the gym.

Bronny James struggled in the most playing time he has received in his NBA career. Bronny was scoreless for the Lakers in their 118-104 loss to Philadelphia on Tuesday night.
