Bronny James' rookie season took another step Wednesday in front of his father LeBron's hometown crowd in Cleveland.

While the Lakers lost, 134-110, to the Cavaliers, Bronny James scored his first NBA basket, albeit deep in garbage time in the fourth quarter.

The game represented homecoming of sorts for the James family. Bronny, like his father, was born in Akron, Ohio. With LeBron James playing for the Cavs and Heat, Bronny James spent his formative years in Ohio and Miami before the family moved to Los Angeles in 2018.

With the homecoming narrative serving as one of the many storylines in the game, Bronny James was expected to get his second taste of NBA action as Los Angeles continued its five-game road trip. He delivered, connecting twice with Dalton Knecht for a pair of assists in addition to his first professional bucket.
