Los Angeles Lake Lakers Brooni James received the first significant time to play in his NBA career on Tuesday – and didn’t go well.

James, number 55 in the latest NBA project, has transferred between Lakers and their G-League branch this season, seeing only minimal and rare time to play with the big club. The game on Tuesday night on the road against Philadelphia 76ers was James’ 13th NBA. The previous 12 were completely imperceptible. In addition to a short, largely ceremonial quarrel in the second quarter of the season opening, in which he and LeBron James became the first duet father-son in the history of the NBA to share the court, each of the NBA of Bron’s NBA had come to the fourth quarter of blowing. He scored four total points (0.3 per game) and never played for more than five minutes.

Then he came Tuesday. Lakers recalled James of G-League on Monday and coach JJ Redick put him in his rotation for the game against Sixers. It didn’t go well. James played a little over 15 minutes and did not score a point by going 0-for-5 from the floor (0-for-3 out of three). He had an assist, turned the ball turned three times, and was repeatedly cooked in the protective end by Sixers Star Tirese Maxey, which went for 43 points, two shy from the highest season, as the sixes won 118-104 to click Liker Serusion A series of four matches.

It was a rough night for Lakers who lost Anthony Davis in the first quarter of what the team calls an abdominal strain. Gabe Vincent, the team’s backup guard, missed his second straight game with a left knee injury, which necessitates the addition of armor to the rotation.

Redik decided to give James Vincent minutes, not veteran Shake Milton, who saw his most bright time playing with Lakers last night against Charlotte Hornet. But Redik admitted that it was probably not the right call to introduce James so hard.

“Maybe (I) I put it in a difficult place” Redik told reportersS “Yesterday, yesterday, a national television game in Fili and all these things. He didn’t play well, but he plays great in the games, ready to stay and play great in G (league). “

James have He plays well for Lakers’s Leage branch. He had 31 points in shooting 10 to 22 in a game on Friday, but the Sixers were a big step from Rip City’s remix, and this difference was obvious in how Bronze was fighting on Tuesday. However, LeBron saw some promise in the first major opportunity for the NBA of Bumper.

“He managed to stand behind the defense of one and find Jackson (Hayes) to dip. That was okay, ” The older James saidS – Obviously he missed his photos. It’s just about him, it’s just getting more and more wise. This is his first broad minutes with us.

“We had this first game, which was just a moment, and it was a great time, but tonight was his first opportunity to be with the big boys, the big club. He will continue to use this to improve and better, just like the first time he plays with the G league. “

You may be able to accumulate some of the struggles of armor on Tuesday of nerves and inexperience-a couple of missed triplets, his shot is blocked after he got into a crowd of defenders and forcing unscrupulous pastes after leaving his legs. These are the types of mistakes that up to the 20-year election of the second round make. He was also removed to 13 months since his return to competitive basketball after his heart arrest July 2023. But since his name is LeBron James Jr. Once with one of the last five choices of the draft. However, his name also comes with advantages. He has the biggest player in the history of the NBA as a father to lean for advice and a power agent Rich Paul, who can lobby Lakers to put armor in the development plan that is best suited to his needs.

On Tuesday, there were times when the armor showed its potential. He is a selfless player and a high quality athlete with great speed. Over time, it can very well become a NBA-Caliber player. He was just not like that on Tuesday.
