LeBron and Bronny checked into the game together with four minutes left in the second quarter, and upon recognizing the significance of the moment, the home crowd erupted in applause. LeBron had already played 13 minutes before teaming up with his 20-year-old son. They shared about 3 minutes on the court, with LeBron missing two perimeter shots but later scoring with a dunk.

He exited the game with 1:19 left in the quarter, receiving another warm ovation from the fans.
In the game, Anthony Davis played a key role in the Lakers’ offensive strategy, helping them build a solid lead, especially in the first half. Although the Timberwolves made a late push, the Lakers held on to their advantage. The win marked a strong start to the new NBA season for the team.
The time LeBron and Bronny spent together on the court not only marked a historic milestone for the NBA but also highlighted the strong bond they share, both in the game and in life. It’s safe to say their journey together will be one of the most exciting stories in the league for years to come.
