On Thursday evening, Bronny James was given a career-high 30 minutes of playing time when the Los Angeles Lakers hosted the Milwaukee Bucks.

While they lost by a score of 118-89, Bronny finished with 17 points, three rebounds, five assists and one block.

He also had a viral move on Giannis Antetokounmpo that got a lot of views on social media.

Via Lakers all Day Everyday: "OMG BRONNY HAD GIANNIS TRIPPING "

Bronny was unable to complete the highlight (and many thought the refs missed a foul call).

After the game, the former USC guard was asked about the viral play (h/t Bleacher Report).

Bronny: "He's a much bigger guy than me, so I just gotta find a way to get around him somehow. May have got fouled. That's up for argument. It is what it is. I tried to get me a bucket."

Bronny is only averaging 2.6 points per contest in his first 22 NBA games.

That said, he has extremely limited playing time (5.8 minutes per game).
