CNN —Bronny James, son of all-time NBA leading scorer LeBron James, had the best showing of his young professional career on Friday, posting 17 points in the Los Angeles Lakers’ final preseason game.
However, the shorthanded Lakers – who opted to rest several key players including James Sr. – suffered a heavy 132-74 road defeat to the Golden State Warriors.
“For him, I’m sure it felt good to have 17 points – I’m not even remotely concerned about that.
We’re trying to help him grow into a great basketball player.”Olivari scored a game-high 22 points for LA, while Jonathan Kuminga led Golden State with 17 points.
Golden State gets its season underway on Thursday against the Portland Trail Blazers.
