When will LeBron and Bronny potentially play their first game together for the Lakers?
LeBron James and his son Bronny James could make history as the first father-son combination to compete in the NBA simultaneously, and even on the same team—the Los Angeles Lakers—when they face the Minnesota Timberwolves at home on October 22.
This exciting game will be broadcast on TNT.
LeBron, who will reach 40 years old on December 30, and Bronny, celebrating his 20th birthday on October 6 and the 55th pick of the Lakers during the June draft, have other chances to play together if they miss the opportunity in this game.
Participation in the season opener isn’t guaranteed for both players, but with the G League season starting in November, the Lakers might want to seize the chance to create this historic moment early in the NBA season and avoid any distractions later on.
