Grant Williams contextualizes Bronny James' Summer League win with blow-by-blow details: "I set the high and got up"

"Didn’t get the chance to due to hard stop @ 8pm. I set the new high and got up so they could have opportunity to beat in last 10 min. Bronny had an insane clutch in his last game and beat me by one kill with 15 sec left. Exactly what gaming is about and competition!!"

While it has been hard for him to win on the basketball court, Bronny James' off-court win could help him refocus and find his rhythm. During the California Classic Summer League games, James struggled to be impactful. He appeared in two games, averaging 3.5 rebounds and 2.5 assists, 1.5 steals and 1.5 blocks in 25 minutes per game.

In Las Vegas, he doubled his scoring and finished with eight points and five rebounds. However, he still hasn't found his stroke and made only 3 of 14 shots from the field and failed all eight attempts from beyond the arc.
