The Lakers recalled James from the G League's South Bay Lakers on Saturday, Ryan Ward of SI.com reports.
The parent club was off Saturday, so James was assigned to South Bay for the club's regular-season finale in order to pick up some meaningful run. The second-year guard finished Saturday's 140-132 win over the Sioux Falls Skyforce with 26 points (9-12 FG, 6-8 3Pt, 1-2 FT), seven rebounds, five assists and one steal in 37 minutes. While he typically hasn't been a rotation player at the NBA level this season, James could end up getting some minutes in Monday's game against the Wizards due to Luka Doncic being suspended for the contest and Marcus Smart (ankle) being uncertain to play.

The Lakers recalled James from the G League's South Bay Lakers on Wednesday, Ryan Ward of SI.com reports.
James will rejoin the parent club ahead of Thursday's contest versus the Mavericks after he logged 29 minutes for South Bay in its 128-116 win over the San Diego Clippers on Wednesday, finishing with 12 points (5-9 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 0-1 FT), six assists, three rebounds and two blocks.

The Lakers were missing several key players for that game, but with the team getting all of LeBron James (foot), Marcus Smart (ankle) and Austin Reaves (calf) back for Thursday's contest, Bronny James likely won't be included in the rotation.
