Bronny James' interaction with Ja Morant's father goes viral

Los Angeles Lakers rookie Bronny James made his G League debut for the South Bay Lakers on Saturday night. James scored six points on 2/10 shooting and struggled from the floor, but added four assists, three rebounds and two steals in 31 minutes of play.

James' final NBA appearance came against the Philadelphia 76ers on Friday, when he received one minute of playing time following that win. James also attended LA's loss to the Memphis Grizzlies last week and spent a moment with Ja Morant's father after the game.
