Following the game, the Lakers announced that they had assigned three players to South Bay (G League).
David Mendez-Yapkowitz of ClutchPoints wrote: “Lakers announce Kobe Bufkin, Bronny James and Adou Thiero have been assigned to South Bay.
We will be live tomorrow night in El Segundo as South Bay looks to set a franchise record for most consecutive wins.”
All three players continue to back and forth between Los Angeles and South Bay.
Therefore, it’s very possible that they will be recalled before Saturday’s game against the Denver Nuggets (in Los Angeles).
