As soon as it went in, the fans at Rocket Mortgage Arena cheered him on. Cavaliers fans still hold an incredible soft spot for the James family since LeBron James played two stints there and won a championship for his hometown team.
It was Bronny James’ second game of the season. He started the season stepping onto the floor at the same time as his father. However, he is likely G League bound for the majority of the season.
