The Los Angeles Lakers assigned guards Bronny James and Cameron Carr to their G League affiliate, the Coachella Valley Lakers, as reported this Thursday by journalist Marc Stein. The development league season will begin this Friday.
Bronny James has played five games with the Los Angeles team this season, averaging one point per game and 66.7% shooting from the field, although with limited participation.
The eldest son of LeBron James, who joined the Philadelphia 76ers last summer, was selected by the Lakers in the second round of the 2024 Draft. Since then, he has alternated his performances between the NBA team and its development affiliate.
For his part, Cameron Carr, chosen with number 24 in the 2026 Draft, has only participated in three games with Los Angeles. The rookie missed the first six games of the regular season due to an oblique injury.
Another recent move by the franchise was the departure of Dalton Knecht, a first-round pick in the 2024 draft, who was released during the final roster cuts before the start of the 2026-27 season.
Knecht later found an opportunity with the New York Knicks, with whom he signed a dual contract. The forward made his debut on Wednesday night against the Chicago Bulls, a game in which he recorded 10 points and seven rebounds in 16 minutes of action.
