On Tuesday night, the Los Angeles Lakers crushed the Washington Wizards (at home) by a score of 111-88.
Since the game was a blow out, head coach JJ Redick gave rookie Bronny James playing time at the end of the fourth quarter.
The former USC guard had one rebound and one steal while shooting 0/1 from the field in two minutes.
Many NBA fans reacted to his performance on social media.
