Because it’s preseason it’s not official, but expect them to be on the court together early in the season, possibly opening night against the Timberwolves

LeBron James on how it felt to share the floor with Bronny tonight: “Not real. Still trying to get a little bit used to it, but pretty cool. It’s pretty cool for the both of us and especially for our family. It’s pretty cool.
“It’s definitely a moment that I’ll never forget.” – 1:00 AM
Khobi Price @khobi_price
JJ Redick said that he chose to play LeBron and Bronny James together at the start of the 2Q because he wanted to give them a chance to play together in preseason within the flow of the game.

Redick on LeBron + Bronny: “I’m thrilled that I get to be a part of this. It’s cool as a basketball fan. I think it speaks to LeBron’s longevity, but also his competitive stamina that he’s able to still be doing this in Year 22.”
He added that it also speaks to the work Bronny – 12:30 AM

LeBron James and Anthony Davis didn’t start 2nd half either. #Suns #Lakers10:56 PM
Mike Trudell @LakersReporter
As expected, that’s it for LeBron and AD, as well as Durant/Booker/Beal for Phoenix, tonight.
Christie and Hayes start the 2nd half for LAL, and Allen, O’Neale and Dunn for PHX. – 10:55 PM
Duane Rankin @DuaneRankin
Lakers 69 Suns 57 Half.
PHX: Booker 12 points, Beal 11, Durant and Jones 6 each.
FG 37.5% (9-of-21 from 3).
LAL: LeBron James 19, Davis 17, Russell 12.
FG% 55.8% (5-of-18 from 3). #Suns #Lakers pic.x.com/MXymqF1pFS10:53 PM
Tony Jones @Tjonesonthenba
LeBron has 19 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists at halftime of his first preseason game and my question is why does he have that kinda usage in his first preseason game lol – 10:48 PM
Mike Trudell @LakersReporter
A strong close to the half produced a 69-57 Lakers lead, with LeBron totaling 19 points on 8 of 12 FG’s with 6 boards and 4 assists in his 16 minutes, and AD 17 points on 7 of 10 FG’s with 8 boards and 3 assists in 18 minutes. – 10:43 PM

Ryan Dunn open corner 3 off Tyus Jones feed.
Then guards LeBron James to the baseline and gets stop with help from Royce O’Neale.
That’s a sequence for the rookie.

LeBron and Bronny making a very cool kind of NBA history. Count me in, for whatever this turns out to be. Wrote about this topic -and other Lakers musings – earlier this week, at @TheAthletic

Special moment, even just preseason, for LeBron, Bronny and their family. Personally, love it as a father – 10:19 PM
Kellan Olson @KellanOlson
Dunn drills a 3 and has had two nice sequences of defense on LeBron in the mid-post. Good shift for him. – 10:17 PM
Malika Andrews @malika_andrews
Lebron and Bronny James take the floor together for the first time as teammates in the 2nd Quarter against the Suns.
Today is Bronny’s 20th birthday. – 10:15 PM
Kamenetzky Brothers @KamBrothers
I’m a bit surprised LeBron and Bronny are on the court together at all in the preseason. Figured everyone would err on the side of showmanship and save the first time for when the games officially count, and the history is most notable. Still fun for them, though. AK – 10:15 PM

Duane Rankin @DuaneRankin
I’m going to make a prediction.
LeBron James is back in the game.
I predict Bronny James checks in this last 2:33 of1st quarter or to start the 2nd so he and his dad can be on the court for that historic first time.
FYI: Today is Bronny James’ 20th birthday. #Suns #Lakers10:04 PM
Kamenetzky Brothers @KamBrothers
It’s just one preseason game, but JJ Redick seems to be following LeBron’s established substitution pattern, which has been like clockwork since he’s been a Laker. AK – 10:04 PM
Mike Trudell @LakersReporter
LeBron’s back in at the 2:45 mark, with Reaves getting his first rest. He immediately scored at the rim off a nice dish from Davis, his 3rd assist.
Rotation piecing together nicely so far. – 10:03 PM
Kamenetzky Brothers @KamBrothers
This is the most engaged I’ve seen LeBron and AD in a preseason game in a few years. Good. Been a big theme for me on @LockedOnLakers and @ESPNLosAngeles. I don’t care about whatever wins or losses, but I want this team to treat training camp with a sense of purpose. AK – 9:53 PM
Tony Jones @Tjonesonthenba
Bron out there winded lol – 9:50 PM
Mike Trudell @LakersReporter
Max Christie is the first sub, getting LeBron at the 7:05 mark, with LAL up 11-7.
LAL are 4 for 4 in the paint, while holding PHX to 2 for 6 inside, with both AD and LeBron patrolling defensively early. – 9:50 PM
Chris Mannix @SIChrisMannix
LeBron, in his preseason debut, has blocked two shots in the first four minutes. Flying around on the defensive end. – 9:48 PM
Mike Trudell @LakersReporter
LeBron has a block with each hand already, getting Plumlee with his left, and then Booker with his right, the latter more emphatic against his Team USA fellow gold medalist. – 9:48 PM
Duane Rankin @DuaneRankin
Starting lineups:
Suns: Tyus Jones, Devin Booker, Bradley Beal, Kevin Durant, Mason Plumlee
Lakers: D’Angelo Russell, Austin Reaves, Rui Hachimura, LeBron James, Anthony Davis. #Suns #Lakers9:11 PM
Mike Trudell @LakersReporter
JJ Redick confirmed that he’ll start his preferred five tonight: Russell, Reaves, Hachimura, LeBron and AD.
Cam Reddish is also available off the bench after missing the first preseason game. – 7:50 PM

JJ Redick says LeBron James and Anthony Davis will start tonight’s pre-season game against the Phoenix Suns. – 7:47 PM

More on this storyline

From the very beginning of the NBA season last year you could tell that there was a sense of frustration constantly brewing with LeBron James. Now, thanks to Netflix’s “Starting 5” series giving us a glimpse into the season of five NBA stars, we know exactly where that frustration for James was coming from. In a clip from the new series, James can be heard vehemently declaring his frustration with Darvin Ham’s minutes restriction as soon as the season started. He complained to the Lakers’ assistant coaches about the decision to keep him limit the time he spent on the floor. “I know you got me on [expletive] old man time percentages and [expletive],” LeBron James said. “Played eight minutes and [expletive]. Two shots in eight minutes. Just getting cardio. I hate this [expletive] already. This [expletive]’s garbage.” -via For The Win / October 9, 2024
Tyrese Haliburton: I had a lot of conversations with (LeBron James), (Dwyane) Wade and (Carmelo Anthony) out there. Those guys all played in the 2004 Olympics and didn’t really get to play a ton or as much as they wanted to. They kind of got a little taste of being benched. So, I think it’s all a part of it. I’m not bigger than any one group, and I’m not too proud to check my ego at the door for a bigger goal. We won a gold medal, and I get to tell my kids that I was a part of one of the greatest teams ever assembled. -via New York Times / October 9, 2024
The Washington Wizards have had one division title since 1980, which came in the 2017 season. Former Washington Wizards star Bradley Beal recollected that season, which saw the Wiz losing in seven games to the Boston Celtics. While on the Run Your Race Podcast, Beal talked about how his Wizards team would’ve proved to be a better matchup against LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers. “The 2017 team. We talk about it all the time. The Cleveland dudes were like ‘y’all lost.’ We felt like we woulda gave them a better matchup than Boston. Cause remember, we took Boston to seven (games) that year. Our team was going crazy. “That whole year with the Celtics, from ’16 to ’18, it was like their funeral. We’d wear black suits to the games.” -via Clutch Points / October 9, 2024
