Lakers Send Bronny James, Adou Thiero to G League as Redick Oversees Development

The assignment is a development plan to hone James' off-ball game under JJ Redick's direct oversight.

Overview

  • Bronny James logged 15 points, eight assists, four rebounds and three steals in South Bay’s 115-95 win over Santa Cruz, while Adou Thiero led with 19 points.
  • James said his focus is improving off the ball after a conversation with Redick about the Lakers’ primary ball-handlers on the NBA roster.
  • Redick attended the South Bay game in person to evaluate James and Thiero.
  • James remains with South Bay and was listed out for the Lakers’ road game against the Jazz due to the G League assignment.
  • Media reports indicate the Lakers are working toward a two-way deal with Drew Timme that would require a waiver move, which remains unfinalized.
