Bronny James’ final run-out before his official NBA debut

The Lakers were at the mercy of a poorly constructed NBA preseason schedule and decided to go with it the team’s last friendly match before the new 2024/25 campaign officially begins next week.

Bronny James, the best of the bad bunch

JJ Redick’s side played the second of two games on consecutive nights and their rivals took advantage to deliver an authentic defeat. Bronny James, one of the most active and successful in a team that was otherwise in total disarray. This concluded a series of preseason games that began against the Suns and ended against the Warriorstwo of the best teams in the Western Conference, against whom his famous father, who embodies Durant and Curry, has fought a thousand battles over the years.

NBA doubleheader to start the new season

The result was an absolute embarrassment: a painful one 132-74 Loss at the Chase Center in San Francisco. This marked the end of the preseason, as the new season is scheduled to begin on Tuesday evening – an evening on which the Lakers are the protagonists of a double-header. The 2024/25 season starts with Celtics Taking over the Curtsythen that Lakers Face it Timberwolves a few hours later.

No conclusions can be drawn from a game like last night. Redick only fielded eight playersall of whom need to earn minutes in the rotation, while Kerr’s team took full advantage with some notable performances.

Only the inside game was famous, Jaxson Hayes And Cam Reddishand the latter signed a score of 1/11 in field goals, which clearly shows the mentality with which the game was handled on his side.

Nothing clear can be drawn from the results of these friendlies either, it has never happened before, but it is worth mentioning The Golden State Warriors have won all six games they played in the preseason this season. A double against them Lakers And Kingsplus the Hair clippers And Pistons. But nothing more.
