Lakers make decision on Bronny James ahead of four-game road trip
Bronny James has been making definite strides over the last several weeks. He has had several strong games in the G League, and on Thursday, he had a breakout performance in the NBA when the short-handed Los Angeles Lakers called him up.
He scored 17 points on 7-of-10 shooting and dished off five assists on Thursday in a loss to the Milwaukee Bucks. However, he then went 0-of-4 in Saturday's loss to the Chicago Bulls, which seemed to reinforce the fact that while he's been doing well in the G League, he's still not ready for the big leagues.
The Lakers are about to start a four-game road trip, and ahead of the first game of that trip, which will take place on Monday versus the Orlando Magic, they decided to move James back to the G League.
Lakers announce LeBron James is probable for tomorrow's game against Orlando.

Rui Hachimura is questionable.
Bronny James has been assigned to South Bay. South Bay has their final two home games of the season on Monday and Tuesday.
The G League regular season is winding down, and South Bay, which has a 13-17 record, will not be moving on to the playoffs. It lost to the Sioux Falls Skyforce 117-113 on Friday despite 35 points from rookie guard Quincy Olivari.
So far in the G League regular season, James is averaging 20.6 points, 5.2 assists and 5.0 rebounds a game.
