The Los Angeles Lakers had a lot of injuries on Thursday night and relied on rookie Bronny James to have the best night of his NBA career so far.

LeBron James and his son, Bronny, were named in a lawsuit claiming they crashed into two people on a Los Angeles-area highway in 2022. The win marks the first for the Lobos in the NCAA tournament in more than a decade.

The Lakers, missing LeBron James, Luka Doncic and four other key players against the Bucks, turned to the end of its bench, which included Bronny. They lost 118-89 despite Bronny's performance. However, the story was less about the final score and more about the oft-maligned James Jr. showing he belongs.
