Heading into his sophomore campaign, the son of the Lakers' future Hall of Fame inductee and 21-time All-Star LeBron James will be aiming to eventually break into the team's rotation after tearing up the G-League for the franchise's South Bay affiliate in 2024-25.

Las Vegas' Thomas & Mack Center was buzzing on Thursday night, when No. 1 overall pick Cooper Flagg and the Dallas Mavericks took on Bronny James and the Los Angeles Lakers.

Traditionally, the marquee game on the opening night of summer league features the No. 1 and No. 2 overall picks from the draft playing against each other, but not this year. The NBA scheduled a matchup with Flagg squaring off against the son of the league's all-time leading scorer, LeBron James.
