The Los Angeles Lakers only had 12 players healthy for their matchup against the Kings on Oct. 26, and Bronny James still couldn’t get in the game. Three of those options were on two-way contracts. Head coach JJ Redick played eight and never went to the 21-year-old in the first half. Even when Gabe Vincent was injured in the third quarter, Redick trusted Chris Manon, a two-way player, over Bronny. It appears he wasn’t even a thought, and it couldn’t be clearer that Bronny isn’t an NBA player at this stage.
The 6’2 guard did play three minutes of garbage time in the win over the Timberwolves.
