Bronny James, son of basketball legend LeBron James, scored his first points in the NBA on Wednesday (30 October).

James Jr. scored a two-pointer in the fourth quarter of the Los Angeles Lakers’ defeat to the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Bronny ended the night with two points, two assists and a steal, though the result did not go the Lakers’ way.

They went on to lose 134-110 in their second defeat of the regular season, while the Cavs maintained their 100% winning start to the campaign.

It was an appropriate stage for the Lakers rookie to score his debut points, born in the town over from Cleveland in Akron and against the team his father began in the NBA with as a rookie himself.
