On Monday night, LeBron James' son Bronny James and the Los Angeles Lakers took on the Celtics in a Summer League game held in Las Vegas. Bronny faced challenges on offense, including missing a 3-point shot, which extended his streak of 0-15 from Summer League games.
Jaylen Brown sat courtside, accompanied by his girlfriend Kysre Gondrezick, and WNBA rookie sensation Angel Reese. NBA TV's sideline cameras captured Brown commenting to them, "I don't think Bronny is a pro.”
