Fri Oct 18 04:50:00 UTC 2024: ## Bronny James Shows Signs of Life in Lakers Preseason Loss
**LAS VEGAS, NV -** After a slow start to the preseason, Bronny James showed signs of improvement in the Los Angeles Lakers’ 111-97 loss to the Golden State Warriors on Tuesday night. The 20-year-old rookie played nine minutes, scoring two points on 1-of-5 shooting.
James, who struggled in his first three preseason appearances, has emphasized getting comfortable and building confidence during this period. “Just going out there and getting reps is the most important thing,” he told ESPN. “Grow my confidence and be more confident while I’m out there playing, because I feel good. The numbers could be better, but I just got to get my confidence up.”
While the Lakers lost the game, Bronny’s improved performance offers a glimmer of hope for the young guard. He and the Lakers will look to build on this momentum when they face the Phoenix Suns on Thursday night at 10 p.m. ET on TNT.
