After a few games in San Francisco to get acquainted with Summer League action, Bronny James and the Lakers were off to Las Vegas to play in the NBA 2K25 Summer League at UNLV.
At the California Classic, the Lakers failed to register a win, going 0-3 in meetings with the Kings, Warriors, and Heat. James appeared in two of the three games in San Francisco, putting forth an impressive showing on the defensive end despite some offensive woes.
When Los Angeles takes the floor in Vegas, the spotlight on James and company was brighter. With massive crowds on hand and an international audience tuned in, many eyes were on James' every move.
Sporting News tracked James' performances as he took the floor four times during the Las Vegas Summer League.
