That didn’t take very long, did it? During the NBA draft — right after Bronny James was selected at pick No. 55 by the Los Angeles Lakers — ESPN revealed its NBA summer league opening-night schedule. Bronny James will very likely play in the summer league to begin polishing and developing his game for the pros. Assuming that he does play with the Lakers’ summer league team, that opening-night summer league game will mark his NBA debut.
ESPN and ESPN Plus will provide television and streaming coverage for the Lakers’ summer league opener against the Houston Rockets on Friday, July 12. The game will start at 7:30 p.m. Eastern time, 4:30 p.m. Pacific time in Las Vegas. Viewers will get their first look at Bronny James in an NBA game with NBA rules. Another summer league game will follow Lakers-Rockets, but you know that Bronny James’ first pro game will be the featured attraction. That’s just two weeks away. The NBA moves quickly, and so does ESPN.
