Bronny James Receives Mixed Reactions After Second Lakers Start in Saturday’s Win Over milwaukee
Bronny James made his second start for the Los angeles Lakers on Saturday,contributing to a dominant 128-94 victory over the Milwaukee Bucks. Despite the win, which improved the Lakers’ record to 10-4, James’ performance drew attention and sparked fan reaction. He played a limited four minutes in the first half, finishing with 0-of-1 shooting from the field on a three-point attempt.
His first start came in the Lakers’ regular-season finale last year alongside his father, LeBron James, against Portland, where he recorded four points, six assists, and four steals. Saturday’s game saw Luka Doncic lead the Lakers with 41 points, nine rebounds, six assists, and two blocks, while austin Reaves added 25 points and Deandre Ayton contributed 20 points and 10 rebounds.
The Lakers built a commanding 31-point lead by halftime, fueled by Milwaukee’s offensive struggles. Giannis Antetokounmpo lead the Bucks with 14 points, but the rest of the starting lineup combined for only nine.
Several Lakers players were unavailable for the game; Rui Hachimura and Marcus Smart were ruled out, and LeBron James remained sidelined with sciatica. James has been practicing with the South Bay Lakers, participating in full-contact five-on-five work as he ramps up his recovery.
Los Angeles maintained control throughout the second half, securing the 24-point win. The lakers will next face the Utah Jazz in back-to-back games on Tuesday and Sunday, hosting the first matchup before traveling to Salt Lake City.
