Bronny James Stats Tonight: LeBron James' son drops Lakers career high in massive loss to lottery-bound Utah Jazz (Feb. 12)

Bronny James got another run with the LA Lakers in unexpected circumstances as he suited up in Wednesday's blowout loss to the Utah Jazz. Playing in his first game since Feb. 4, Bronny tallied nine points, marking his fourth straight scoring game in a Lakers jersey.

The No. 55 pick also had an underlying storyline as matched up with his former USC running mate, Isaiah Collier.

Bronny entered the game with 7:44 left and the Lakers trailing 116-96. His first point came at the free-throw line as he knocked down one of his two attempts. Bronny hit a floater on his next attempt with a crafty move, snaking into the paint off a ball screen.

He nailed a corner 3-pointer to take his tally to six, making it a career-high for the second-rounder. Bronny then registered his first and only assist of the night off a swing pass to Jordan Goodwin. He rounded off his night with a spectacular stepback 3-pointer in the final seconds.

Bronny James finished with nine points (career-high) and one assist, shooting 3-of-4, including 2-of-3 from deep. He had a box +/- of +10, the highest on the team.

Bronny James brimming with confidence in career-high effort for Lakers

Bronny James' confidence has seemingly picked up over the past few weeks. After a lean stretch where he failed to make a field goal in his first nine games, Bronny has made one and scored in four straight games.

He was coming off a superb effort in the G League on Feb. 7, tallying 28 points and six rebounds on 12-of-23 against the Valley Suns in a 122-104 win.

Bronny missed the next two games with an elbow contusion.

Wednesday's nine-point outing will likely give him an even bigger boost at the NBA level. It will be interesting to see if he can come close to replicating such a performance in a more meaningful stint on the court if he gets that chance.
