NBA legend Charles Barkley has criticized the Los Angeles Lakers over their handling of Bronny James this season.
The 20-year-old was selected by the franchise in the second round of the NBA Draft in June, where he joined his superstar father, LeBron, in the roster.
The pair went on to make history together in October, when they become the first father-son duo to appear together in an NBA game.
However, the rookie guard has since played a very limited role in the NBA and was assigned to the team’s G League South Bay Lakers squad earlier this month.
Bronny now plays in the G League when the development team plays at home, but returns to the NBA whenever they hit the road – a move which has some scratching their heads.
Among the critics is longtime Turner Sports broadcaster Barkley.
“They’ve handled it awful,” Barkley recently said on The Bettor Angle podcast, referring to the Lakers.
