LeBron James delivered a pass to his rookie son, Bronny James Jr., for the first recorded father-son assist in NBA history during the Los Angeles Lakers’ victory over the Brooklyn Nets on Saturday, March 28, 2026.
The milestone play came in the second half, punctuating a game the Lakers went on to win. It marked the first time an NBA player has assisted on a basket scored by his own child in a regular-season contest.
LeBron, 41, is in his 23rd NBA season, while 21-year-old Bronny is navigating his debut campaign with Los Angeles. Saturday’s assist added another chapter to LeBron’s extensive list of career firsts and underscored the unprecedented dynamic of the James duo sharing the court as teammates.
The victory improved the Lakers’ record as they continue to jostle for playoff position. The Nets absorbed the loss despite a competitive effort.
