LeBron James' son, Bronny James, was in action during the LA Lakers' humiliating defeat against the OKC Thunder on Wednesday. Bronny's minutes came in garbage time after the Lakers coach JJ Redick wisely decided to rest the starting lineup of Luka Doncic, Austin Reaves, Rui Hachimura, Marcus Smart and Deandre Ayton in the final period.

Bronny entered the game off the bench in the final quarter but squandered yet another chance to showcase his potential on the big stage. The former USC guard struggled badly on offense, failing to convert a single shot attempt. Be it shooting from the perimeter or making from inside the arc, the Lakers guard faltered and looked completely out of rhythm.

Though he remained scoreless on the night, LeBron James’ son managed to contribute in other areas of the game. The sophomore guard was active on the glass and on the defensive end, while giving a good account of his playmaking skills.

Bronny didn't receive any minutes during the Lakers' win over the Charlotte Hornets in the previous game. When JJ Redick called his number on Wednesday against the Thunder, the young guard wasted a solid opportunity to make a case for himself to play a few minutes on a nightly basis.

The former USC guard is averaging 2.6 points on 35.0% shooting, including 33.3% from beyond the arc, this season. He also averaged 1.0 rebounds and 1.9 steals on 12.7 minutes per game.
