It’s safe to say that Bronny James’ Lakers return was far from what we had hoped for.
The son of the great LeBron James was handed 15 minutes against the Utah Jazz by coach JJ Redick who explained he ‘didn’t play well’.
Bronny had been starring in the G-League and recently put up his highest score for the South Bay Lakers with 31 points.
However, the 20-year-old seems to be struggling to make the step up to the NBA with Stephen A. Smith suggesting it’s time for LeBron to ‘stop this.’

Stephen A. Smith sends Bronny James warning
Bronny was always going to find it tough coming into the NBA under the expectation of the work of arguably the NBA’s GOAT, his father.
LeBron is still breaking records for fun at 40 and the pair’s performances were miles apart against the Jazz.
Bronny went scoreless in his 15 minutes while LeBron dropped 31 points, 8 rebounds and 9 assists.
Skip Bayless was left confused by Bronny’s 0-point display calling it ‘hard to understand.’
