LeBron James<\/a> has admitted that he doesn’t ‘talk as much’ to eldest son Bronny these days, despite sharing a locker room with the rising LA Lakers<\/a> star.<\/p>\n

NBA veteran LeBron made his long-awaited return to the court on Tuesday night, putting up a double-double in his 2025 season debut against the Utah<\/a> Jazz.<\/p>\n

Bronny, meanwhile, played just three minutes of the game but still managed to hit a deep three that brought the Crypto.com Arena to it’s feet – including LeBron.<\/p>\n

After the game, the 40-year-old star was quizzed by reporters on his relationship with Bronny – both inside and outside the LA Lakers locker room.<\/p>\n

LeBron said:<\/a> ‘He’s not a resident anymore, so we don’t talk as much. He has his own place. But he’s great.’<\/p>\n

‘It’s been great to see and to watch [his growth]. And he’s still young. He turned 21 not too long ago. He’s still learning and getting better with each and every rep.’<\/p>\n

The James father-son duo both played a role in the Lakers’ win over the Utah Jazz on Tueday<\/p>\n

Bronny, 21, has made 10 appearances for the Lakers during the current season, averaging 11.1 minutes of action per game.\u00a0<\/p>\n

During those games, Bronny is averaging 2.1 points-per-game, 0.9 rebounds-per-game and 1.8 assists-per-game.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, LeBron\u00a0made his return from injury for the clash at the\u00a0Crypto.com Arena, having missed the Lakers’ opening 14 games of the season after developing sciatica.<\/p>\n

Though it wasn’t a vintage LeBron display – which is understandable given his recent injury – the 40-year-old star still produced 11 points, 12 assists and three rebounds.<\/p>\n

By making his return to the court on Tuesday, James set an NBA<\/a>\u00a0record for the most seasons played, 23, surpassing the record held by Vince Carter.\u00a0<\/p>\n

During the game, James also moved up to sixth in the NBA’s all-time 3-pointers list, surpassing Reggie Miller.<\/p>\n

Elsewhere on the night, Luka Doncic produced a stunning 37 points, as well as 10 assists and five rebounds, in yet another stunning performance for the Slovenian star.<\/p>\n
