Since Bronny’s performance wasn’t getting better in the NBA, the team decided he would play in both the NBA and the G League. Tonight, Bronny James made his G League debut, with LeBron, AD, Savannah, and Zhuri there to cheer him on. But suddenly the spotlight shifted to his younger sister, Zhuri, because of her awkward reaction.
Zhuri James went to watch her brother’s G League debut on Saturday. After the game, she hugged him but quickly made a “disgusted” face and rubbed her shirt. Bronny had played 31 minutes and was sweaty, so his sweat got on Zhuri’s white shirt after the hug.

Everyone, including the commentators, laughed at her humorous reaction when they caught the moment on camera. It was clear that the 10-year-old wasn’t too happy about it. The clip went viral, especially after the Lakers shared it on their Instagram stories with a bunch of laughing emojis.
Bronny James gets overlooked as Lakers teammate shines bright
Bronny James made his best shot in his G-League debut, especially after his breakout preseason game against the Warriors. With his family watching, he must’ve felt proud of his efforts. However, things didn’t go as expected. Bronny’s teammates stole the show.
While Bronny scored six points in the 110-96 victory, Olivari put up an impressive 28 points, 10 rebounds, and six assists. Another teammate, Maxwell Lewis, also added 27 points. Therefore, the significant contributions from Olivari and Lewis left his long-awaited solid performance red-faced.
