Bronny James throws down poster dunk, scores 31 points in win for G League Lakers

Bronny James is back with the G League’s South Bay Lakers, as the Los Angeles Lakers begin a six-game road trip on Saturday against the Golden State Warriors. And he put on a show for the home fans on Friday night.

Late in the third quarter of the South Bay versus Rip City Remix game, James carried the ball down the court, dripped a screen from Christian Koloko, and drove down the lane for a pocket flip over Sterling Manley that would make a great poster.

That tied the game at 80–80 and James celebrated his outstanding play with his teammates when Rip City called a timeout. Inspired by the poster’s dunk, South Bay finished the third quarter on a 9–4 run and led for almost the entire quarter en route to a 122-110 victory.

James finished with 31 points, shooting 5 of 11 on 3-pointers, leading South Bay to its second victory of the season. At 2-7, the G League Lakers are second in the Western Conference. James played his first game with the team since December 21.

Quincy Olivari added 20 and seven rebounds off the bench, while Koloko scored 16 with 10 rebounds. Rice Sir’jabari scored 15, joined by Trey Jemison III and Jordan Goodwin each with 14 points.

“Just trying to make plays for myself and my teammates, all I’m trying to do,” James said in A post-game interview. “It ended up being a poster dunk that energized the whole team and it turned out well.”

For Rip City, Alex Reese scored 32 points with seven rebounds, followed by Manley’s 15 points. Henri Drell, Cameron Tyson and Tyrell Roberts added 14 points for the remix, which increased their record to 4–5.

With the NBA’s Lakers on the way, James likely won’t join the team until at least Feb. 4 when it visits the Los Angeles Clippers.
