NBA legend Charles Barkley has criticized the Los Angeles Lakers over their handling of Bronny James this season.
The 20-year-old was selected by the franchise in the second round of the NBA Draft in June, where he joined his superstar father, LeBron, in the roster. The pair went on to make history together in October, when they become the first father-son duo to appear together in an NBA game. However, the rookie guard has since played a very limited role in the NBA and was assigned to the team’s G League South Bay Lakers squad earlier this month.
And then you feel like you probably got to play him. I don’t think they are doing Bronny any favors.” CNN has reached out to the Lakers and LeBron James for comment. Lakers coach JJ Redick told reporters in October that the team had always intended for the rookie to split time between the NBA and the G League throughout the season. “The plan for Bronny to move between the Lakers and South Bay has always been the plan since day one,” Redick said, according to the Associated Press.
