PALM DESERT, Calif. – Los Angeles Lakers guard Bronny James' second preseason game Sunday against the Phoenix Suns at Acrisure Arena will be a “full-circle moment” for the rookie. The son of LeBron James had a predraft workout with the Suns before the Lakers drafted him in the second round out of USC.

Bronny James and his camp did everything in their power to ensure that he would land with the Los Angeles Lakers. During ESPN's broadcast of the second round of the NBA Draft in June, Bob Meyers reported that agent Rich Paul told other teams that Bronny would play in Australia if they picked him.
