LeBron James and his son, Bronny, are scrimmaging with the Los Angeles Lakers during offseason workouts, setting the stage for a historic moment when father and son will potentially share an NBA court together. Head coach JJ Redick and GM Rob Pelinka discussed the milestone during a recent news conference, emphasizing the collective eagerness to see LeBron, the NBA's all-time leading scorer, play alongside Bronny, a recent second-round draft pick. Redick mentioned the ongoing internal discussions, stating, "We don't have anything planned, per se ... they should be a part of that discussion as well."

Pelinka humorously recounted an incident from a recent scrimmage where LeBron outplayed Bronny, highlighting the natural competitiveness between the two. Despite Bronny likely spending much of the upcoming season in the G League, Redick remains optimistic about his potential, praising his coachability and youthful enthusiasm. Redick's sentiment was clear: "I feel very fortunate that I get to coach him ... he's got the right spirit and energy every single day." Bronny turns 20 during training camp, while LeBron will celebrate his 40th birthday in December. (This story was generated by Newser's AI chatbot. Source: the AP)
