Bronny James’ Future With LA Lakers Takes Huge Twist

Bronny James' future with the Los Angeles Lakers has reportedly taken a huge twist.

Bronny, 21, is the son of NBA legend LeBron, who is widely considered one of the GOATs of the sport.

During what has been a stellar career, LeBron has played for the likes of the Cleveland Cavaliers, Miami Heat and the LA Lakers.

The 40-year-old has won four NBA Championships and three Olympic gold medals, among other trophies.

While Bronny is looking to make a name of himself in the NBA world, the youngster has struggled to nail down a spot in Lakers head coach JJ Redick's regular rotation this season.

As a result, the 21-year-old was played in the NBA G League with the South Bay Lakers.

However, it has been claimed that Bronny has now been recalled from the South Bay Lakers after an injury to Luka Doncic.

Doncic was on the court for just 20 minutes during the Lakers' disappointing 103-88 defeat against the Los Angeles Clippers when he suffered an injury.

The Slovenian was then forced off the court with what has been described as a left leg contusion.

After being ruled out for the remainder of the game, Doncic ended the match with 12 points, five rebounds, two assists and one three-pointer.

As per Athlon Sports, Doncic collided with Clippers veteran Bogdan Bogdanovic, who appeared to make contact with the Lakers star's calf.

As a result of Doncic's injury, it was claimed by Trevor Lane that the Lakers have recalled Bronny.

He wrote on social media: "The Los Angeles Lakers have recalled guard Bronny James Jr. from the South Bay Lakers."

Speaking about Doncic's injury, Lakers coach Redick said: "I saw him hobbling towards the end of the first half. He came to me at halftime, said he couldn’t go. Um, it’s all I have."

Reflecting on the match, he added: "For, you know, 90% of the guys that played tonight, just an incredible competitive spirit. LeBron led that, but I thought all the guys brought it, and we defended at a high level, made it tough on their stars."
