Lakers coach JJ Redick expressed concerns about Bronny James' performance during the preseason, citing a total of 11 points and 12 turnovers across four games. In a recent game on October 14 against the Warriors, James failed to score in 11 minutes, attempting only two shots while recording one rebound, one steal, and four turnovers. Redick noted that James has had good practices leading up to the games but has struggled to find rhythm, partly due to playing with different teammates. The Lakers will finalize their roster ahead of the regular season opener on October 21 after one more preseason game against the Nuggets.
