Bronny received significant playing time in the second quarter and matched up against Wembanyama on the court. The young guard put his body on the line to guard the Spurs superstar, but his efforts went in vain. Wembanyama used his physicality and floored Bronny before knocking down the shot.

The Lakers guard got on the board with a tough banked mid-range jumper, but his attempt to block Wembanyama’s dunk moments later once again proved futile. At half time, Bronny James had two points on 1 of 3 shooting from the floor and one rebound in five minutes.

"I thought he was really good on the ball (defensively) and I’ve seen that twice now over the last week or so, I think it was the second half of the Portland game," Redick said. "He was really just a force in terms of containment and physicality."

Bronny has received playing time in six of the Lakers' nine games this season. The athletic guard is averaging 1.4 points, 2.2 assists, and one steal per game.
