The Los Angeles Lakers have managed to tread water without LeBron James. Despite Thursday's 118-89 loss to the Milwaukee Bucks, they are still 3-3 since the four-time MVP injured his groin against the Boston Celtics. Fortunately, even without the legendary forward, the Lakers aren't completely bereft of players named LeBron James.

Los Angeles Lakers rookie Bronny James appeared in his 22nd NBA game in Thursday's contest against the Milwaukee Bucks. The Lakers were very shorthanded in this game, as both LeBron James and Luka Doncic were sidelined.

Bronny James was one of the few positives the Los Angeles Lakers had to show during Thursday's loss to the Milwaukee Bucks at home. James tied fellow rookie Dalton Knecht as the team's best scorer (17 points apiece) in a game the visitors won with a 118-89 score.
