Bronny and LeBron James are looking forward to postseason playing time together with the Lakers

LeBron James and Bronny James seem likely to play postseason minutes together this month when the Los Angeles Lakers face the Houston Rockets in the first round. The greatest scorer in NBA history and his 21-year-old son have been teammates for nearly two years, but the prospect of accomplishing a new first is still special to both generations. Bronny’s playing time has increased over the last month, and he has been a rotation piece for the Lakers since Luka Doncic and Austin Reaves went down with injuries two weeks ago. LeBron takes an obvious fatherly pride in Bronny’s development into a contributor for their short-handed team.
