Bronny and Whitfield celebrated their milestone after the second-year guard — who was the Lakers' 55th overall pick in the 2024 NBA Draft — opened up about his offseason training in hopes of earning a spot in head coach JJ Redick's rotation.
While at the NBA Summer League last month, Bronny told ESPN that he spent the past year working to overcome lingering effects from his heart condition.
Bronny went into cardiac arrest two years ago due to a congenital heart defect and underwent surgery that left a six-inch scar down the center of his chest before his freshman year at USC.

His workouts include interval training — VersaClimber sessions, stationary bike burnouts, incline walk exertions and wind sprints — to supplement scrimmaging and skill work.
Redick added that Bronny needs to prioritize getting stronger in order to progress to the next level.
In 27 NBA appearances in his rookie season, the guard averaged 2.3 points, 0.7 rebounds, and 0.8 assists on 31.3 percent shooting from the field and 28.1 percent from three-point range.
James was back and forth from the NBA Lakers to the South Bay Lakers in the G League, where he averaged 21.9 points, 44.3 percent shooting and 38 percent from beyond the arc.

Lizzo Flaunts Weight Loss in Tight Biker Shorts but Some Fans Are Furious: Here's Why
Lizzo Flaunts Weight Loss in Tight Biker Shorts but Some Fans Are Furious: Here's Why originally appeared on Parade. Lizzo is totally embracing her new figure as she recently dropped a considerable amount of weight — and she's been showing it off on Instagram. On August 8, Lizzo posted a collaboration with Yitty activewear on her account. She wore a pair of tight green biker shorts and a fitted white sports bra and matching long sleeve top in an ad meant to promote the company. "If you want Yitty activewear, you can now get it at Walmart," Lizzo said in the video. And while some fans praised Lizzo, 37, for her consistency and her apparent hard work, others were upset that she promoted Walmart. The reason? "Corporate greed, companies that have rolled back their diversity, equity and inclusion efforts and President Donald Trump's efforts to eliminate federal DEI programs since taking office," according to USA Today. The comments section on Lizzo's post quickly filled up with people letting her know that they won't be supporting Walmart. "No lizzo love you but we're still mad at walmart," one person wrote. "But, we are not shopping there," someone else said. "NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!! That just ruined the brand. I mean I'm sure you'll be making money but this really just tarnished it," a third comment read. "We are NOT shopping at Walmart… what is wrong with you?!? Read the room," a fourth Instagram user hasn't responded to people commenting about Walmart. However, she did recently open up about her weight loss and how she's feeling. 'I like how I look now. I still think I'm big. I'm still wearing plus-size clothing. I have the same rolls. I got the same belly, the same thighs – I think I'm just a smaller version," she said in an interview with Women's Health UK. 'Body positivity has nothing to do with staying the same. Body positivity is the radical act of daring to exist loudly and proudly in a society that told you you shouldn't exist," she added.

LA 2028 to sell venue name rights in Olympic first
Organizers of the Los Angeles 2028 Olympics will sell naming rights for some competition venues to "unlock an additional revenue stream" in a move that breaks with Games tradition of forbidding brand names on stadiums and arenas. In a statement released on Thursday, LA28 organizers said the "landmark change" will apply to featured venues in support of the "largest commercial revenue raise in sports". "From the moment we submitted our bid, LA28 committed to reimagining what's possible for the Games," LA28 chairperson and president Casey Wasserman said in a statement. "Today's historic announcement delivers on that promise, creating the first-ever venue naming rights program in Olympic and Paralympic history while advancing LA28's mission of a fully privately funded and no-new-build Games." Contracts are already in place with automaker Honda, an LA28 sponsor which already has the naming rights for the Anaheim, California, arena that will host volleyball, and with media and technology company Comcast -- which will have its name on the temporary squash venue. As previously announced, Peacock Theater in downtown Los Angeles will host boxing and weightlifting. Wasserman said the "groundbreaking partnerships" will generate revenue beyond what is already budgeted and "will introduce a new commercial model to benefit the entire (Olympic) movement". "We're grateful to the International Olympic Committee (IOC) for making this transformation possible," he added. Naming rights for up to 19 temporary venues will be available, with the IOC's sponsorship partners and LA28 partners having a chance to put their names on Games venues. Companies that already have their names on such Olympic venues as SoFi Stadium and Arena "will have the opportunity to keep existing venue naming rights during Games time", Wasserman indicated. "Clean venue" policies that prohibit advertising on the field of play will still apply. bb/nf
