@YahooSports: "Bronny James was scoreless in the first half against the Celtics and turned the ball over six times 😬"

Dan Woike: "In four games in Vegas, Bronny James averages 14.3 points, 3.8 rebounds and 2.8 assists on 47.6/30/78.6 shooting splits. Still has work to do but Lakers should be pleased with the path he's on"

@LSH_lakeshow: "Bronny had another stellar scoring output, he had a lot of turn overs today but a majority of them came from his teammates not reading him correctly."

@KellyMartin6: "He's coming along. He's put in the work and it's obvious. Sometimes he just needs to slow down tho and let the game come to him"

@LakersNation: "Tough loss for LA, though Bronny James and Christian Koloko stood out. Last Summer League game tomorrow against the Nuggets."

@4_tbaker: "Love Bronny but 8 TO’s is something that’s not being talked about enough"
