Bronny James easily tops career high … in G League game

James, the oldest son of NBA star LeBron James, connected on 14-for-21 shots from the field, including 4-for-8 on 3-pointers, and contributed seven rebounds, four assists, four steals and one block as the rookie guard continues to show improvement.

The 20-year-old James’ previous G League-high for points was 31.

Against the Warriors, James had 10 points in the first quarter, eight in the second, eight in the third and 13 in the fourth. In the final quarter, James was 4-fo-6 from the field and 3-for-4 on 3s.

This performance follows up his best game as an NBA player when he scored 17 points for the Los Angeles Lakers in a loss to the Milwaukee Bucks.

The Lakers’ G League team, which has been eliminated from the playoffs, has three regular-season games remaining: Tuesday against Santa Cruz, Friday against Iowa and Saturday against Iowa.

In 17 G League games, James averages 18.7 points, 4.6 rebounds, 4.5 assists and 1.6 steals and shoots 42.5% from the field and 32.7% on 3-pointers.
