The Los Angeles Lakers began the regular season with the bitter taste of defeat. The Golden State Warriors beat them 119-109 in the opening game, claiming the first victory in a matchup that kept fans on the edge of their seats.
However, LeBron James and his son, also a Lakers player, found reasons to smile.
The James family’s fun moment
Neither Akron Hammer nor Bronny played in the game, in which Luka Doncic shone with 43 points, 12 rebounds, and 9 assists, followed by Austin Reaves with 26 points, 5 rebounds, and 9 assists.
Despite the efforts of these stars, they were unable to stop Jimmy Butler and Stephen Curry, who scored 31 and 23 points respectively.
While father and son remained on the bench and watched everything from there, they also took the opportunity to continue strengthening their bond and were seen joking and laughing together.
The truth is that, despite this fun moment, the Lakers’ smiles faded after seeing how they were outplayed by their rivals.
LeBron was unable to take the court due to his sciatica, and it is speculated that he will not return until mid-November. His absence was felt and set a precedent: it was the first time LBJ had missed his team’s season opener in his 23-year career.
On the other hand, Lakers coach JJ Redick opted to keep Bronny on the bench, at least for this first game.
It is likely that father and son will be able to share the court during the 2025-26 season, but that moment will have to wait, and they will have to limit themselves to sharing laughs and fun moments off the court.
Meanwhile, the Los Angeles Lakers will face the Minnesota Timberwolves on Friday, October 24, at Crypto.com Arena, before traveling to Golden 1 Center to face the Sacramento Kings on Sunday, October 26. Will we see more interactions between LeBron and Bronny?
