JJ Redick Sends Strong Message to Bronny James After Lakers’ Roster Decision

Bronny James' latest trip to the NBA G League will be a short one. But Los Angeles Lakers coach JJ Redick made clear Friday why the young guard needs it. James and rookie Cameron Carr were assigned to the Coachella Valley Lakers for the team's season opener against the Salt Lake City Stars at Acrisure Arena. Redick confirmed that both players will rejoin Los Angeles after Friday's game, ending speculation about how long they might remain with the developmental affiliate. The Lakers coach also delivered a straightforward message to the two guards about what he expects from them.
