LeBron and Bronny James Make First Father Son Assist

LeBron James and his son Bronny James connected on the NBA's first father-and-son assist when LeBron fed Bronny for a three that cut Brooklyn's lead 44-42. The moment adds to their young chapter as the league's first father-son teammates after they debuted together last October. Bronny, a 2024 second-round pick from USC, has split time between the Lakers and the G League, where he averages 14.8 points on 54.7 percent shooting and 3.6 assists. Merlin sees more than a headline in that catch and shoot. The play is a small signal of trust and growth: Bronny’s G League work and sparing NBA minutes are building confidence, and LeBron involving his son hints the Lakers will keep testing him in live action. Expect more cameo moments before any full-time role arrives.
