LeBron James and Bronny James played their first game together for the Los Angeles Lakers during their preseason clash with the Phoenix Suns in Palm Springs, California, on Sunday.
Why it matters: They’re the first-ever NBA father-son duo to share the court at the same time — and it happened on Bronny James’ 20th birthday.
Driving the news: The history-making moment came when LeBron James’ eldest son came onto the court at Acrisure Arena as a substitute at the start of the second quarter.
The big picture: The Lakers picked Bronny James in the NBA draft’s second round in June.
The 39-year-old Lakers legend LeBron James, who’s entering his 22nd season, spoke two years ago of his hopes of playing on the court with his eldest son.
