The Los Angeles Lakers are set to face the Toronto Raptors on Sunday, hoping to improve their record to 6-4 in their 10th game of the season. The team will have Bronny James back, along with guard Jalen Hood-Schifino and forward Maxwell Lewis, who have been recalled from the South Bay Lakers, the Lakers' G League affiliate.
James recently played his first game with the South Bay Lakers, scoring six points, grabbing three rebounds, dishing out four assists, and making two steals and a block. Though his shooting wasn’t great (2-for-10 from the field and 0-for-5 from three), he felt good about his performance. "It felt pretty good to go out there and just play my game," James said. "I was just playing basketball."
South Bay Lakers head coach Zach Guthrie was impressed by James, saying, "He did a great job. He played unselfishly and within the flow of the game."

James has appeared in five of the Lakers' nine games so far this season, with limited minutes and stats mostly from late-game play when the outcome is already decided.
Joining James are Jalen Hood-Schifino and Maxwell Lewis, who both played in South Bay's opener. Hood-Schifino scored eight points with one assist and one rebound, while Lewis shined with 27 points, five rebounds, two steals, and two blocks.
Lakers announce that they’ve recalled Bronny James, Maxwell Lewis and Jalen Hood-Schifino from South Bay for tonight’s game against the Raptors.
