Bronny James live stats: South Bay vs. Salt Lake City updates, results, highlights from G League debut

The Lakers officially sent Bronny James to the G League, giving the rookie more playing time against weaker competition.

In the first game of the year in the South Bay, the Lakers play against the Salt Lake City Stars, the G League affiliate of the Utah Jazz. James is expected to only play home games for South Bay to start the year, but with the team at home to start the G League season, he should get plenty of playing time on Saturday.

Here's everything you need to know about James' first G League appearance of the year, including his full stats, results and highlights.
