Bronny James scored 16 points in a 102-91 road loss to the Valley Suns in Tempe, Arizona, on Friday evening.
James, who is on assignment with South Bay, entered Friday on fire since returning to the team after suffering a bone bruise in his left heel that sidelined him a few weeks.
Last Sunday, James scored 16 points and grabbed four rebounds to help lead the Lakers to a 119-111 win over the San Diego Clippers.
Then James saved his best for his G League road debut on Thursday, dropping a career-high 30 points on 13-of-23 shooting in just 25 minutes in a 106-100 loss to the the Valley Suns.
James' shooting cooled off Friday. He started 5-of-10 shooting but missed nine straight field goal attempts. James then hit a final three-pointer to finish 6-of-20.
Still, he did start well and even impressed with this circus shot that people praised.

Overall, James has been quite productive for the South Bay Lakers of late, averaging 20.7 points per game in his last three contests.
Fans praised his performance.
Bronny struggling in the second half but I like the fast that he continues to be aggressive. He should be averaging 17 shots per game from now on at all cost
I watched that whole 4th Qtr of South Bay and though Bronny missed most of his shots, them were great aggressive attacks and shots and rimmed out. His instincts are good, that off balance in traffic euro was ????????, just rimmed out
bronny poor shooting night sucks but what matters in the long run is he's stayed aggressive despite it, which wasn't happening before
Alright, Bronny James and I'm tired of pretending it's not true <a href="https://t.co/AVCDPki1Vt">https://t.co/AVCDPki1Vt</a>
Bronny having a good game back to back I LOVE IT ????????
BRONNY LOOKS SO CONFIDENT BRO
I'm rooting for bronny.
bronny's got it going now. hit a turnaround jumper over tyrese samuel last time down then an and-one.<br><br>has shown some nice handles and footwork on drives that just were never there at usc.
Bronny is better than max christie
Bronny is the only thing positive going on for the Lakers and he ain't even in the main roster rn ????
Bronny showing his toughness! ???? Keep grinding, young man. ????
good game has to get more consistent on certain shots taking like i feel like he should shoot more midranges
Bronny going to be ???? watch the g league is going to get him right
It's unclear when James will play his next game. The G League Lakers don't play again until Dec. 27 at the Cleveland Charge. The NBA Lakers have five games between then and now, so it's conceivable James gets the call back to the main roster and sees a few minutes while the South Bay squad is off.
