LeBron James attended Saturday’s NBA Summer League matchup between the Los Angeles Lakers and the New Orleans Pelicans to watch his son, rookie guard Bronny James, take the court. The four-time NBA champion arrived at the arena in Las Vegas with his daughter Zhuri shortly before tip-off, drawing attention from fans and media inside the venue. The elder James, who is entering his 23rd NBA season with the Lakers, has repeatedly expressed interest in sharing an NBA roster with his son. Bronny, selected by Los Angeles in the second round of last month’s draft, is using Summer League play to strengthen his case for a regular-season role.
