The new NBA season tipped off on the night of October 22-23, and the matchup between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Minnesota Timberwolves featured a historic event.
Details: For the first time in NBA history, a father and son shared the court in the same game. Of course, we are talking about the legendary LeBron James and his son, Bronny James.
Bronny made his NBA debut in the second quarter when the score stood at 51:35 in favor of the Lakers. He spent 2 minutes and 41 seconds on the court, recording 1 rebound, though he did not score his first points in the league.
LeBron, playing for 34 minutes and 38 seconds, contributed 16 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists, and 2 blocks.
In the end, the Lakers triumphed with a 110-103 victory.
Reminder: The 2024 NBA offseason was the most expensive in the league's history.
