On Tuesday evening, Bronny James appeared in his fourth NBA preseason game when the Los Angeles Lakers faced off against the Golden State Warriors in Las Vegas.
Bronny got a lot of playing time in the fourth quarter and finished his night with two points, one rebound and one block while shooting 1/5 from the field and 0/3 from the three-point range.
