Bronny James Drops Career-High 17 Points In Lakers Loss
Bronny James silenced the haters on Thursday night after scoring a career-high 17 points for a short-handed Lakers team.
www.tmz.comHere’s the latest I could gather on Bronny James’ career-high in the NBA.
- Bronny James posted a career-high 17 points for the Los Angeles Lakers in a game against the Milwaukee Bucks on March 20, 2025. He shot efficiently (7-of-10) and added 5 assists, 3 rebounds, and a block in about 20-30 minutes of action, depending on the source. This marked his first double-digit scoring game in a prominent NBA rotation that season.[6][9]
- He also had notable performances in the NBA G League with a career-high 39 points for the South Bay Lakers on March 23-25, 2025, highlighting his scoring development and potential, though that is in the G League rather than the NBA proper.[3]
- Reports and outlets around late March 2025 framed his 17-point NBA game as a breakout moment for the rookie in limited duty due to roster circumstances, with ongoing discussion about his trajectory in the Lakers’ rotation.[9][6]
If you’d like, I can pull more details (box score, minutes, shooting splits) from those games or look for any later updates that mention him reaching new career highs in the NBA since then.
