LeBron & Bronny Together
LeBron James and his son Bronny shared the court in a rare father‑son moment — LeBron poured in 26 points, 8 rebounds and 11 assists while Bronny added 10 points, 3 assists and 2 steals.

LeBron James and Bronny James didn’t just check into the same game again this week. Against the Golden State Warriors on April 9, they traded assists in the same sequence, and the Lakers won 119-103. (sports.yahoo.com) LeBron finished that game with 26 points, 8 rebounds, and 11 assists in 32 minutes. Bronny added 10 points, 3 assists, and 2 steals while hitting 2 of 4 three-point attempts. (sports.yahoo.com) (usatoday.com) The play people kept replaying started with Bronny feeding LeBron, then LeBron kicking the ball back out for Bronny’s three. ESPN described it as the first father-son duo in National Basketball Association history to record assists to each other. (espn.com) That record only exists because the league had already crossed one barrier in October 2024. LeBron and Bronny became the first father and son ever to play together in a National Basketball Association regular-season game for the Los Angeles Lakers. (cbssports.com) The next step came on March 27, 2026, when LeBron passed to Bronny for a three-pointer against the Brooklyn Nets. National Basketball Association coverage called that the league’s first father-son assist, and it turned a family milestone into an official line in the play-by-play log. (nba.com) (sportsnet.ca) Bronny’s path to this moment was not smooth. ESPN noted that the Lakers picked him No. 55 in the 2024 draft after a freshman season at the University of Southern California that had been interrupted by cardiac arrest during a summer workout. (espn.com) That is why a 10-point night carried more weight than a normal bench stat line. National Basketball Association reporting said Bronny had only started getting rotation minutes recently, with veteran guard Marcus Smart sidelined by injury. (nba.com) The game had one more layer because Stephen Curry turned up before Warriors-Lakers in a 2013 Nike LeBron X colorway. NBC Bay Area reported that Curry wore LeBron James’s signature shoe as a tribute before the matchup, so the father-son highlights landed in the middle of a full LeBron nostalgia night. (nbcbayarea.com) LeBron has spent two decades stacking records that belong only to him. Now he has one that nobody else can copy unless another father and son reach the league at the same time, land on the same roster, and are trusted to run real possessions together.
