The Los Angeles Lakers have made a surprising decision for reserve guard Bronny James ahead of Saturday's clash against the Milwaukee Bucks, the second game in as many nights for both clubs.

With LeBron James and other players still out, the Los Angeles Lakers opted to start LeBron James Jr. (in name only).

Luka Doncic had already made it clear the team needed to embrace a next-man-up approach during this stretch, and he backed up those words with another explosive performance against the Bucks.
