With the loss, the Lakers have dropped their fourth consecutive game of the summer after losing all three games at the California Classic Summer League last week.
On top of his eight points — his best scoring output this summer — that came on 3-for-14 shooting, James once again showcased he can impact the game through his defense. Entering the night averaging 3.5 rebounds per game, James added five defensive rebounds and two steals to his stat line. James went 0 for 8 shooting from 3-point range on Friday, some of which fell an inch or two short of going in.
He did have a nice dunk in the first quarter, finishing off a pass from Lakers 2024 first-round pick Dalton Knecht.
When the summer league is all set and done, James will join his father, four-time NBA Finals champion and league MVP LeBron James, as the first father-son duo to play for the same team at the same time in NBA history.
