A former Los Angeles Lakes star is coming to the defense of LeBron James and Bronny James and confronting the haters.

Here is the latest news you need to know about the Los Angeles Lakers, including an update on Anthony Davis' injury.

Bronny James has not been getting regular minutes. Most of the minutes he has gotten have come with the South Bay Lakers, their G League affiliate. So far this season, James has played in just 13 games this season. He actually got the most minutes of his career in the Lakers' matchup with the 76ers on Tuesday.

Bronny James struggled in the most playing time he has received in his NBA career. Bronny was scoreless for the Lakers in their 118-104 loss to Philadelphia on Tuesday night.

Lakers rookie guard Bronny James struggled against the 76ers on Tuesday, but remained optimistic about his play.

Through the first half of action, Bronny played five minutes. He recorded just one assist and he missed his one and only field-goal attempt thus far, a three-pointer. The Lakers, however, as a whole, have not been playing well, as they find themselves down by 16, 73-57, to a 76ers team that's without Joel Embiid and Paul George.

Stephen A. Smith is pleading with Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James to get his son Bronny out of the NBA ranks with all deliberate speed.

It was a rough night overall for the Lakers, who lost Anthony Davis in the first quarter to what the team is calling an abdominal strain. Gabe Vincent, the team’s backup point guard, missed his second straight game with a left knee injury, necessitating Bronny’s addition to the rotation.

LeBron James is listed on the injury report with left foot injury management, and it's not certain if he will suit up.

The Los Angeles Lakers have been linked to adding this guard to help their defense and give them some added playmaking on offense.
