Bronny James made his professional debut with the Los Angeles Lakers and in the process paired with LeBron James to become the first father-son duo to share an NBA floor. A day later, the pair found themselves sued in Los Angeles County Superior Court for their alleged involvement in a car crash outside of Los Angeles.

Attorneys representing LeBron and Bronny James have denied "each and every allegation" made by two people who said they suffered undisclosed injuries and damage to their vehicle after the current Lakers teammates crashed into them in 2022.
