Jj Redick'S In-Game Shoutout: A Wake-Up Call For Bronny James

Lakers Wrap Up Road Trip with Convincing Win

The Los Angeles Lakers closed out their five-game road trip in style, clinching a 119-95 victory against the Milwaukee Bucks at Fiserv Forum. This win took their impressive season tally to 10-4, including a dominant 7-2 record on the road.

Central to their success were standout performances from Luka Doncic and Austin Reaves. Doncic dazzled with 41 points, nine rebounds, six assists, and two blocks, while Reaves contributed 25 points, six rebounds, and eight assists, demonstrating the team's offensive depth.

Bronny James in the Spotlight

All eyes were on Bronny James, who started for the first time this season. However, his hesitance on the court led to an unforgettable moment. Twice, he passed up open shots, prompting a fiery sideline reaction from Lakers coach JJ Redick, who shouted, “Bronny, you gotta shoot the f***** ball!”

“Bronny, you gotta shoot the f***** ball!”

James' stint was short-lived. Redick took him out after just four minutes due to his reluctance, and he finished the game with 10 minutes of play, missing two shots but managing to secure a rebound, an assist, and a steal.

Building Confidence for the Young Guard

Trying to boost the young guard's confidence, Redick is encouraging Bronny to be more assertive on offense. Although he's shown promise, consistency remains a challenge. The coach’s support could be pivotal for James, who is averaging 2.0 points on 26.9% shooting, alongside 1.0 rebounds and 1.8 assists, while bringing valuable defensive energy to the team.

Bronny James might have another opportunity to shine when the Lakers face the Utah Jazz on Tuesday. With Redick’s backing, fans hope to see James step up and embrace his role on the court.
