Redick, who took over as head coach this season, emphasized the importance of this game, not just for the team’s performance but also for the historic moment it represents. If LeBron and Bronny share the court, they will be the first father-son duo to play in an NBA game together.
During practice, the father-son duo engaged in a friendly scrimmage that quickly went viral on social media. Bronny, the rookie guard, managed to hit a three-pointer over his father, sparking a competitive exchange that showcased their skills and the unique dynamic they bring to the team.
Anthony Davis, a veteran Lakers player, commented on the practice duel, noting the high energy and competitive spirit it brought to the team. “Bronny hit a three over him today, and everybody was talking smack in Bronny’s favor. Then LeBron came down and bullied somebody. He took it out on [him], made the layup. Bronny hit another three. Then LeBron wanted the ball,” Davis recounted.
Redick, while cryptic about whether Bronny will play in the season opener, acknowledged the significance of the moment. “Nothing has been finalized yet,” Redick said, hinting that the decision will depend on various factors, including Bronny’s readiness and the team’s strategy.
The Lakers’ season opener against the Timberwolves is set to take place at the Crypto.com Arena, and fans are eagerly awaiting the historic moment of LeBron and Bronny sharing the court. The game will be nationally televised, adding to the excitement and anticipation surrounding the event.
As the Lakers gear up for the new season, all eyes are on Redick and his coaching strategies, as well as the potential debut of Bronny James in an official NBA game. The team is hopeful that this season will bring them closer to championship contention, with the added bonus of witnessing a historic father-son duo in action.
