“The kid is not ready to play in the NBA,” Barkley said. “And he needs to be in the G League (full-time) to play basketball. He’s not going to get better on the bench.”
The Hall of Fame continued. “I don’t think they’re doing Bronny any favors. And they just handled this badly. It’s a bad look for the Lakers.”
Barkley added that the schedule puts a lot of strain on Los Angeles’ coaches … and he actually said LeBron deserves a lot of the blame for the situation.
“You come off a road trip and there’s a player you haven’t seen in a week or two and then you feel like you should probably play him,” Barkley said.
“I really like everything LeBron is doing, but it’s a bad look for him in my opinion.”
Bronny, the 55th overall pick in the 2024 NBA Draft, has played in six games for the Lakers this season, averaging five points per game in two G League contests.
