In 27 regular-season appearances with the Lakers, he averaged 2.3 points, 0.7 rebounds and 0.8 assists, whereas he averaged 21.9 points in the developmental league.
James said he is grateful to have had his father, a four-time NBA champion, to lean on as he navigated his rookie season.
'It's a blessing,' Bronny told FOX Sports in May. 'Being able to learn from him, not only as a player, but as a dad. It's a different type of relationship. I try to take full advantage of it because it's something that a lot of people can't have. It was an amazing experience for me. And I'm looking forward to learning more from him, if he's still here or not, either way. But I'm just looking forward to it.'
The NBA Summer League begins Thursday, with James and the Lakers tipping off at 8 p.m. against the Mavericks and this year's first-overall pick, Cooper Flagg.

Alleged video shows Panthers star Jaycee Horn's car crash en route to practice

Prince Harry left ‘raging' in late-night phone calls over Sentebale charity probe: report
Prince Harry has reportedly been left 'raging' in late-night phone calls over the latest probe findings into Sentebale, the charity he co-founded with Prince Seeiso of Lesotho. The Duke of Sussex, 40, was forced to issue a response after the Charity Commission for England and Wales announced Tuesday that it discovered no evidence of 'widespread or systemic bullying, harassment, misogyny or misogynoir' at the organization. As a result, the 'Spare' author is said to be 'utterly devastated' over what he sees as a 'hostile takeover of his life's work,' a source told the Daily Mail. Advertisement 5 Prince Harry has reportedly been left 'raging' in late-night phone calls over the latest probe findings into Sentebale. Getty Images Insiders told the outlet that Harry has been spending 'hours' on the phone with supporters late into the night over the fiasco. The duke and his pals believe the African charity's current chair Dr. Sophie Chandauka 'cajoled her way to a position of power and influence.' What's more, the Invictus Games founder refuses to 'even use her honorary title of doctor, such is the depth of their animosity,' the outlet claims. Advertisement Harry and his camp allegedly claim that Chandauka would rather the charity 'go down in flames' than resign from her post, per the outlet. 'She shopped them all to the Charity Commission when the trustees raised their concerns about the charity's governance,' an insider said. Another source told the outlet that Harry had 'personally tried' to mediate between Chandauka and the charity's trustees — and further offered to bring an independent law firm to help the situation.

As the duke plots his next philanthropic move, sources claim that his approach will change if he decides to set up a new charity again.

'While we don't recognize the source of these quotes, it would be accurate to say that the Duke is, of course, deeply upset by this entire ordeal; though he remains absolutely committed to continuing the work he began 19 years ago — that being to support the children of Lesotho and Botswana living with HIV/AIDS and struggling with mental health issues,' Harry's rep told The Post. On Tuesday, the probe found no 'overreach' by Harry or Chandauka, however, it criticized both parties for allowing the dispute 'to play out publicly.' 5 On Tuesday, the probe found no 'overreach' by Harry or Chandauka, however, it criticized both parties for allowing the dispute 'to play out publicly.'

Maxim's 'unsexiest women' list surfaces with surprising first-place winner
More like 'unsexy and the city.' Online viewers are ripping on a controversial 18-year-old Maxim article that listed the most 'unattractive' women in showbiz — with 'Sex And The City' star Sarah Jessica Parker topping the Mount Rushmore of alleged off-putting celebs. The unflattering ranking came to light via a Reddit post raising eyebrows online. 'In 2007, Maxim thought it was clever to publish a list of 'Unsexiest Women Alive',' the original poster wrote. 'Here are the 5 women they selected.' SJP was named the 'unsexiest woman alive' with the men's mag describing her as the 'least sexy woman in a group of very unsexy women,' per an article in Today. 'How the hell did this [horse] Barbaro-faced broad manage to be the least sexy woman in a group of very unsexy women and still star on a show with 'sex' in the title?' it read, per 5 'Am I really the unsexiest woman in the world?' spluttered Sarah Jessica Parker while reacting to the unflattering list in an interview with Grazia magazine. WireImage Coming in second in this not-hot 100 was Amy Winehouse. The 'Rehab' singer, who died four years later of alcohol poisoning, was lambasted for her supposed 'openly hemorrhaging translucent skin, rat's nest mane and lashes that look more like surgically attached bats.' 'Grey's Anatomy' star Sandra Oh placed third on this famous person 'face mash,' which the Maxim scribes attributed to her 'cold bedside manner and boyish figure.' 'Self-righteous bellyaching and rapid postnuptial deterioration' landed pop sensation Madonna in fourth place, per the article, which compared her to 'Nosferatu' actor Willem Defoe. Britney Spears, who was in the throes of her highly publicized meltdown at the time, rounded out the so-called cosmetically catastrophic quintet due to her weight gain and turbulent personal life. 5 Maxim ripped Sandra Oh for her 'cold bedside manner and boyish figure.' Getty Images for Tribeca Festival Maxim derided the pop princess as 'filling chicken-grease-stained sweatpants on the cover of every trashy tabloid and gossip blog on the Internet' and having 'gained two kids, two useless ex-husbands, and about 23 pounds of Funyun pudge,' per The body-shaming hit list came out as a veritable aesthetic Razzie Awards to their Hot 100 list, which was released earlier that year. Coming in first place on the 'sexiest woman' rankings was Lindsay Lohan, followed by Jessica Alba, Scarlett Johansson and Christina Aguilera. 5 Amy Winehouse arrives at the South Bank Show Awards at The Savoy Hotel on January 23, 2007 in London, England. Getty Images 5 Britney Spears was lambasted for her messy personal life and weight gain. FilmMagic Thankfully, even the oft-merciless Reddit legions were horrified by the derogatory piece. 'Excuse the f–k out of me?' spluttered one Redditor, while another wrote, 'Never understood the criticism for SJP's looks.' 'All these women are hot? Wtf,' exclaimed a third. Some chalked up the list to the ridiculous beauty standards of the aughts. 'We don't talk enough about how ridiculously cruel the 2000s were to women's bodies,' said another. 'Jessica Simpson could not dare to add half a pound without some low life tabloid turning it to the headline.' 5 Meanwhile, 'self-righteous bellyaching and rapid postnuptial deterioration' landed pop sensation Madonna in fourth place on the list. FilmMagic 'So, two Jewish women with prominent noses, an Asian woman, a 49-year-old woman, and a woman who had recently aged out of her sexy-baby marketing,' rued one critic. 'Let's call it like it is, none of these women fit into the Eurocentric-blonde-hair-button-nose-big-boob-flat-tummy-'good-genes'-barely-legal category, so sadly I'm not surprised.' Others thought the article was especially hypocritical given how most of the writers behind said countdowns generally weren't easy on the eyes themselves. 'It should be mandatory for anyone who publishes articles like this to post a picture of themselves beside their work,' declared one appalled reader. Pajiba writer Kayleigh Donaldson pointed out that the article was even reviled at the time, writing that many media outlets deemed it in 'shockingly poor taste and stunningly sexist' despite celeb body-shaming being in vogue. 'Everyone engaged in this circle of human bear-baiting, with this handful of women held up as the acceptable targets,' she wrote. 'The word 'trainwreck' had never been more utilized in the media vernacular.' Sarah Jessica Parker spoke out about how much the article upset her. 'Am I really the unsexiest woman in the world?' the actress said in an interview with Grazia magazine, the Daily Mail reported. 'Wow! It's kind of shocking.' She added, 'It's so brutal in a way, so filled with rage and anger.'
