[Saba Sports News] Bronny James silenced many critics with a strong Summer League performance on Thursday night, earning praise from Oklahoma City Thunder’s Chet Holmgren.
James led the Lakers to a 93-89 win over the Cleveland Cavaliers at the Thomas & Mack Center in Las Vegas, scoring 13 points on 5-of-10 shooting, including an impressive step-back three-pointer in crunch time.
After the game, Holmgren praised Bronny on social media, saying he “looked like a pro.” This comment came in response to a viral video earlier in the week, where Boston Celtics star Jaylen Brown appeared to suggest Bronny isn’t a pro-caliber player. Brown later addressed the video but did not deny the interpretation.
While Bronny still has much to prove, his performance on Thursday eased some of the early pressure. Holmgren and others were pleased to see it.
