Bronny James Prepares for Third Season with Lakers Without LeBron

Los Angeles Lakers guard Bronny James enters his third NBA season, his first without playing alongside father LeBron James. James recorded one rebound and one assist in 12 scoreless minutes during Friday's 121-106 preseason loss to Denver. Head coach JJ Redick acknowledged James struggled during the four preseason games but credited his strong practices and summer progress. James holds a fully guaranteed $2.3 million contract for his third year on a four-year deal.
