Los Angeles Lakers rookie Bronny James had been up and down between the NBA and the G League this season.

On Thursday, James was in San Francisco as the Lakers took on the Golden State Warriors.

However, he did not register a minute in the game, although his dad, LeBron James, scored 42 points with 17 rebounds and eight assists as the Lakers got the 120-112 win.

Bronny James was assigned to the South Bay Lakers, and he played on Friday night against the Valley Suns.

The Lakers G League team got the win, 122-104, at home.

Bronny James led the way with a game-high 28 points, along with six rebounds on 12-of-23 from the field.

However, in the fourth quarter, Bronny James had a poster dunk while taking a hard fall in the process.

Bronny James hit the floor hard and stayed down for a good amount of time, with trainers coming over to check on him.

Fortunately, Bronny James was able to get up, and he checked back into the game just under the 4-minute mark.

All in all, it is good news that Bronny James was able to return, although it will be something to monitor. The Lakers face the Indiana Pacers on Saturday, and South Bay next plays on Saturday against the San Diego Clippers.
