The\u00a0Los Angeles Lakers\u00a0have managed to tread water without\u00a0LeBron James.<\/p>\n

Despite Thursday’s 118-89 loss to the\u00a0Milwaukee Bucks, they are still 3-3 since the four-time MVP injured his groin against the\u00a0Boston Celtics. Fortunately, even without the legendary forward, the Lakers aren’t completely bereft of players named LeBron James.<\/p>\n

After all, they also have his son,\u00a0Bronny James, who got 30 minutes of playing time on Thursday and managed to make the most of them. In those 30 minutes, he scored 17 points on 7 of 10 shooting. While he tied with\u00a0Dalton Knecht\u00a0for the team lead in scoring, his biggest highlight, like so many of his father’s, came on a pass.<\/p>\n

The elder James is known for his hit-ahead passes in transition. Bronny had one of his own, setting up teammate\u00a0Markieff Morris\u00a0for an easy layup in the second quarter.<\/p>\n
