LeBron, Bronny make NBA history with father-son assist

Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James created a historic NBA moment alongside his son Bronny James as the pair executed a rare “son-to-father” assist during the Lakers’ 119–103 victory over the Golden State Warriors on Wednesday.

The milestone came after Bronny, 19, made a crucial defensive play, stealing the ball before finding his father in transition. LeBron finished the sequence with an uncontested dunk, marking what is believed to be the first father-son assist in NBA history.

LeBron starred throughout the game, posting 26 points and 11 assists, while Bronny added 10 points and three assists, gradually establishing his role within the Lakers’ rotation in a historic season for the family duo.

This historic feat follows an earlier milestone this season, when the pair recorded the first father-to-son assist in league history against the Brooklyn Nets. Together, these moments cement their unique legacy in the NBA.

The Lakers’ win strengthens their playoff position in the competitive Western Conference, while the Warriors continue their battle for seeding.

Elsewhere, the New York Knicks defeated the Boston Celtics 112–106, led by Josh Hart’s 26 points, the Toronto Raptors beat the Miami Heat 128–114, the Houston Rockets won 113–102 over the Philadelphia 76ers, the Chicago Bulls overcame the Washington Wizards 119–108, and the Indiana Pacers routed the Brooklyn Nets 123–94.

Meanwhile, the WNBA announced a major expansion, approving new franchises in Cleveland, Detroit, and Philadelphia, signaling continued growth for women’s professional basketball in the U.S.
