Sokolowski-Imagn Images Bronny James is expected to play in his first G League game on Saturday, following a schedule that will see the rookie shuttle between the Los Angeles Lakers and their G League affiliate.
James will be with the NBA club and available to play on Friday at home against the Philadelphia 76ers, then head to nearby El Segundo on Saturday for the South Bay Lakers' game against the Salt Lake City Stars.
