The news of the lawsuit comes as LeBron and Bronny James made history, becoming the first father-son duo in NBA history to share the floor together. The moment occurred with four minutes left in the second quarter. LeBron and Bronny shared the court together for a few possessions, with the James duo even executing a dribble handoff. Bronny played under three minutes, did not score, and recorded one offensive rebound.
Meanwhile, LeBron James achieved a milestone by suiting up for his 22nd NBA season, joining newly minted Naismith Memorial Hall of Fame guard Vince Carter as the only tow players in history to play 22 seasons. James had 16 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists, and 2 blocks in 35 minutes played.
The Lakers will face off against the Phoenix Suns on Friday, October 25th at 10 PM EST. The game will be broadcast national on ESPN.
