Bronny James showed promise but struggled with his shot in his first game for the Los Angeles Lakers on Saturday, scoring four points on two-for-nine shooting as the Lakers fell 108-94 to the Sacramento Kings in their Summer League matchup.
The 19-year-old son of all-time great LeBron James scored his first points since being drafted last month on a driving layup off the glass in the second quarter.
"That's tough," LeBron James said when looking at a replay of the bucket on a cell phone at Team USA training camp.
"Get loose!"

Bronny's second basket came in the third quarter when he shook his defender with a savvy behind-the-back dribble and hit a pull-up jumper from 15 feet away.
He finished with two rebounds, two assists and a steal in 21 minutes in the game in San Francisco.
A highly-touted high-school player, Bronny played at the University of Southern California (USC) for a single season, which was cut short after he suffered a cardiac arrest last year.
