Lakers’ LeBron James, Bronny James make history, share court for first time in NBA in loss to Suns

PALM DESERT — It’s common to downplay the significance of preseason games since they don’t count in the official statistical or standings record books. But that doesn’t mean meaningful moments can’t happen.

And the Lakers’ 118-114 loss to the Phoenix Suns on Sunday night at Acrisure Arena provided the best example.

When LeBron and Bronny James took the floor together at the start of the second quarter, they made history by becoming the first father and son to play together in an NBA game.
