Fans reacted to the LA Lakers’ decision to recall Bronny James and Adou Thiero from the G League for the crucial NBA Cup game against the LA Clippers. The team’s decision came at a time when their center, Deandre Ayton, had been ruled out with a knee injury.
Thanks for the submission!
Reacting to the update, one fan hyped up the young stars’ return.

“The LIL DEMONS ARE BACK.”
“lets goooo my demons home.”
Another fan predicted a big win for the Lakers.
“Means a Lakers blowout win tonight.”
“Man just leave Bronny down there.”
A fan wanted the team to focus on developing the core around their superstar players.
“Let your Top 9 of the rotation develop chemistry with LeBron James and Luka Doncic. 👍 No more babysitting.”
A fan wanted Adou Thiero to start for the Lakers.
“Adou could literally start for the lakers and they get better but can’t do it cause LeBron is in the way. Next season the starting lineup should be Luka-Reaves-Jake-Adou-Ayton.”
“I wanna see Theiro get some real minutes.”
The last time Bronny James took court for the Lakers was on Nov. 18 against the Utah Jazz. He scored 3 points in 4 minutes.
Bronny James opens up about JJ Redick yelling at him
A video of JJ Redick cussing at Bronny James went viral last week. During the Lakers’ game against the Milwaukee Bucks, James gave up on a wide-open corner 3-point shot, and Redick immediately sent an NSFW message to the young player.
“Bronny you gotta shoot the f*cking ball,” the Lakers coach was heard yelling at his player on the sideline.
Bronny later addressed the viral video and said that his parent team coach wanted him to shoot the ball more, and he was working towards that.
“I’m trying to focus now on bettering myself off the ball,” he told reporters. “Me and JJ have talked about all the ball handlers on the parent team, so I have to learn how to be effective off the ball. Have a .5 mentality — shoot the ball when I have open shots and try to get better at that.”
Bronny is a career 27% shooter from the 3-point line. He is averaging fewer points while shooting at a lower rate than in his rookie season.
Since Bronny James was sent to the South Bay Lakers, he has played two games with the team. The G-League team won both games while James averaged 11 points, 8 assists, and 3.5 rebounds.
