The Los Angeles Lakers returned to Summer League action on Sunday with their highly anticipated matchup against the Miami Heat, and all eyes were on Bronny James as he made his 2025 Summer League debut. After sitting out Saturday’s opener against the Golden State Warriors, James stepped into the lineup looking to make an early impact.
