The Los Angeles Lakers have issued an update regarding rookie guard Bronny James following his absence from their recent game. The 19-year-old son of NBA superstar LeBron James missed the team’s latest matchup due to what was initially described as a non-COVID illness.
According to a statement released by the Lakers on Sunday, Bronny’s absence was precautionary, and the team expects him to return soon. The organization did not disclose specific details about the illness but emphasized that it is minor and not expected to affect his long-term availability.
Bronny has been gradually adjusting to the pace and intensity of the NBA in his debut season. While his minutes have been limited, the young guard has shown flashes of promise with his defensive energy and court vision. His development is being closely watched by fans and analysts alike, particularly given the historic narrative of potentially sharing the court with his father.
Head coach Darvin Ham also spoke to reporters, stating, “Bronny is progressing well and we’re just being cautious. We want to make sure he’s 100 percent before putting him back out there.”
The Lakers, currently navigating a tightly contested playoff race, are managing player health carefully as the regular season nears its conclusion. Bronny’s return will be re-evaluated ahead of the team’s next game.
Fans remain hopeful to see Bronny back in uniform soon, continuing his journey in the league and building chemistry with the rest of the roster — especially his iconic father.
