Bronny James finally broke out on Thursday, scoring 30 points for the South Bay Lakers in a loss to the Valley Suns. James Jr., who has spent most of the season with the Los Angeles Lakers, was playing his first road game with the team's G League affiliate.
James made 13-of-23 field goals and 3-of-9 three-point attempts. He also three rebounds, two assists, one steal and threw down an alley-oop early in the second quarter.
James came into the game averaging just 8.7 points in three G League appearances on 29% shooting. Those numbers will both go up after Thursday night's performance.
