Los Angeles Lakers guard Bronny James has completed his first NBA Summer League. The 2024 NBA Summer League ended with the Miami Heat beating the Memphis Grizzlies in the championship game. 

Held in Las Vegas, the Summer League is a popular event for fans and NBA players alike to see upcoming talent.

This year, the event drew even more attention because of Lakers rookie Bronny James. Picked 55th overall in the 2024 NBA Draft, James had a tough start but showed improvement as the games progressed.

Usually quiet on social media, James recently broke his silence by sharing a video of his highlights from the Summer League on his Instagram story. 

The video included clips of him driving to the basket, making pull-up jumpers, and hitting three-pointers. James' post had no caption but highlighted his growth during the Summer League. 

Despite not having standout stats, with averages of 8.8 points, 3.5 rebounds, and 1.0 assists per game on 35.0% shooting and 15.8% from three-point range, he showed promise in his final two games.

As the son of Lakers star LeBron James, Bronny James is always in the spotlight. With the Summer League behind him, he now focuses on preparing for the preseason.

Ye Faces Lawsuit Over Alleged Copyright Theft In 'Vultures 1'

Photo: Ye / Instagram   Rapper Ye (formerly Kanye West) is being sued by a group of Memphis rappers who claim he and Ty Dolla $ign illegally used a sample in their song “Fuk Sumn” without permission.
