Overview

  • Los Angeles brought Bronny James back from South Bay on Sunday, a move first noted by LakersNation’s Trevor Lane.
  • James is coming off a 15-point, five-assist, three-rebound outing on 6-of-13 shooting in a G League Winter Showcase win over Victor Oladipo’s Wisconsin Herd.
  • Luka Doncic sustained a left-leg contusion against the Clippers and is listed day-to-day after telling coach J.J. Redick at halftime he could not continue.
  • Austin Reaves (calf) and Deandre Ayton (elbow) are expected back Tuesday at Phoenix, while Gabe Vincent (back) is out at least a week and Rui Hachimura (groin) remains on the injury report.
  • James has shown steadier play in South Bay (6-game averages of 9.5 points, 3.8 rebounds, 4.7 assists) even as his NBA numbers remain modest this season (1.9 points on 32% shooting across 14 appearances).
