Bronny James Jr. will make his preseason debut on Friday when the Los Angeles Lakers play the Minnesota Timberwolves.

“Of course there are nerves,” James told reporters on Friday. “That’s part of everything, but I’m just excited to get out there and learn and learn from the people that play for me.”

James was drafted in the second round with the 55th overall pick in the 2024 draft out of USC.

The guard has already competed in a Lakers uniform during the NBA Summer League in July and bounced back from a slow start.

James averaged 8.8 points, 3.5 rebounds and assists in four games played.

When will Bronny James be on the court?

The expectation is that Bronny will likely come off the bench before the Lakers can open the preseason. He did start for the Lakers during the Summer League in July.
