Will LeBron James finish 2025-26 season or leave midseason?<\/p>\n
LeBron opted into his final year with the Lakers, but could a midseason split happen?<\/p>\n
It was a low-scoring affair, but Bronny James<\/a> had his best points output of the 2025 NBA Summer League season so far.<\/p>\n James scored a team-high 17 points, but it wasn’t enough to keep the Los Angeles Lakers<\/a> from a 67-58 defeat against their crosstown rivals, the Clippers<\/a>, at the Thomas & Mack Center in Las Vegas on Monday, July 14.<\/p>\n It marks just the third time this summer that James has eclipsed double-digit points. He scored 10 points against the Miami Heat<\/a> on July 6, and had 14 points<\/a> against the New Orleans Pelicans<\/a> on Saturday, July 12. In between, James scored just two against the San Antonio Spurs<\/a> on July 8, and eight<\/a> in a much-anticipated matchup against No. 1 pick Cooper Flagg<\/a> and the Dallas Mavericks<\/a> on July 10.<\/p>\n The defeat dropped the Lakers’ Summer League record to 1-2. The Clippers, meanwhile, improved to 3-0 and were led by 2023 second-round pick Jordan Miller<\/a>‘s game-high 19 points.<\/p>\n Here’s a breakdown of Bronny James’ latest stats, plus highlights from Monday’s game between the Lakers and Clippers in Las Vegas:<\/p>\n Bronny James stats tonight vs. ClippersPoints: 17FG: 6-for-10 (3-for-5 on 3-point attempts)Rebounds: 5Assists: 5Steals: 0Blocks: 0Turnovers: 3Fouls: 1Minutes: 24<\/p>\n Who will Bronny James and the Lakers play next?<\/p>\n Bronny James and the Lakers continue with their NBA Summer League campaign with a game against the Boston Celtics<\/a> on Thursday, July 17 at 9 p.m. ET.
