The team will have Bronny James back, along with guard Jalen Hood-Schifino and forward Maxwell Lewis, who have been recalled from the South Bay Lakers, the Lakers' G League affiliate. James recently played his first game with the South Bay Lakers, scoring six points, grabbing three rebounds, dishing out four assists, and making two steals and a block. Though his shooting wasn’t great (2-for-10 from the field and 0-for-5 from three), he felt good about his performance. "It felt pretty good to go out there and just play my game," James said.

Unfortunately, the Atlanta Hawks nabbed Bufkin with the 15th overall pick, just two selections before the Lakers' turn. The team viewed both guards as potential replacements for Reaves, in case his restricted free agency demands a contract that the Lakers are unable to match.
