Chandler Parsons tricked into sending $1 million to help ex-Warriors big man

LeBron and Bronny playing more games together for the Lakers

The duo looks forward to sharing the court again when JJ Redick’s Lakers continue their preseason preparations against the Milwaukee Bucks on Thursday, followed by two games against the Golden State Warriors and another matchup with the Suns next week.

James Jr. also shared his excitement about playing with his father, “I was pretty psyched for that. I’m always thinking about, ‘That’s my dad!’, because that’s literally my dad. But when I’m playing, he’s just my teammate. That’s all.”

The Lakers will kick off the 2024-25 NBA regular season at home against the Timberwolves at Crypto.com Arena on October 22. Last season, they fell 4-1 to the Denver Nuggets in the first round of the Western Conference playoffs after initially securing the seventh seed by winning a play-in game against the New Orleans Pelicans.

Any skepticism regarding the father-son duo’s potential to play together after the Lakers drafted Bronny vanished in July when LeBron opted out of the final year of his previous contract, as expected, and reportedly signed a new two-year deal with the Lakers valued at $101.35 million, which is said to include a no-trade clause.

Bronny is one of three children LeBron shares with his wife, Savannah James. Their other children include 17-year-old Bryce, who plays shooting guard for Sierra Canyon High School, and their daughter, Zhuri Nova.
