Bronny James got the surprise call to play in the first quarter for the Lakers and finished with the first serious playing time of his NBA career. It wasn't great. Bronny took off on a fast break and his shot was rejected by Adam Bona.

Through the first half of action, Bronny played five minutes. He recorded just one assist and he missed his one and only field-goal attempt thus far, a three-pointer. The Lakers, however, as a whole, have not been playing well, as they find themselves down by 16, 73-57, to a 76ers team that's without Joel Embiid and Paul George.

So, while the elder James will be jet-setting out to the rat-infested Paris of the West to buddy up with the league’s other All-Stars — including the first Knickerbocker starting duo in 50 years — his first-born will be at home. Or, more likely, the gym.
