The Winning ExchangeLos Angeles Lakers returned to the court tonight to take on the Atlanta Hawks in NBA Summer League action. That meant Bronny James - the No. 55 overall pick in the 2024 NBA Draft - was back on the court for the fifth time this summer.

The Lakers' first game this week was an 88-74 loss to Boston, the team's fifth loss in a row, to continue their Summer League schedule. James missed the second Lakers game in Summer League due to a knee injury.
