Bronny James Misfires in South Bay G League Loss
Bronny James made his third G League appearance of 2025-26, scoring 10 points with five rebounds and one assist in South Bay’s 124-113 loss to San Diego. He hit 4-of-7 inside the arc but missed all five three-point attempts, continuing a season-long split between the NBA and G League as he seeks a steady role — he’s averaging just 1.9 points and 1.7 assists in 10.2 NBA minutes while flashing better production in limited G League action (11.0 points, 8.0 assists in his first two games). Merlin sees a young guard caught between arenas: efficient around the rim (62.5% two-point mark) but ice-cold from deep (about 23% in South Bay). More G League reps will reveal if he can translate playmaking and inside touch into consistent outside shooting and NBA trust — development, not hype, will decide his path.
