How long is Bronny James out? Heel injury timeline, return date, latest updates on Lakers rookie
Year 1 has gotten out to a trying start for James. After making history alongside his father on opening night, James has seen limited minutes with the Lakers and has yet to find his stride with the South Bay Lakers, L.A.’s NBA G League affiliate.
Now, James will have to overcome a slight injury setback as he looks to get his performance back on track.
What is Bronny James’ injury?
James’ injury is a left heel contusion, according to the NBA’s official injury report.
It is unclear when James suffered the injury, but he was placed on the report after playing 26 minutes in a loss to the Stockton Kings on Sunday, Nov. 17.
–How long will Bronny James be out?
The Lakers have not provided a timeline for James’ injury.
James missed the Los Angeles Lakers’ NBA Cup game with the Jazz on Tuesday, Nov. 19, after entering the game as doubtful. He has not played since then. James has mostly been deemed doubtful ahead of each Lakers game over that stretch, though he was ruled out for the team’s Nov. 26 matchup against the Suns.
It’s unclear when James will return. He’s reportedly only going to play in South Bay Lakers home games but will travel with the Los Angeles Lakers when the team is on the road, complicating a possible return from injury.
