James had a 13-point game against the Cleveland Cavaliers in which he added five rebounds, three assists and two blocks. That followed a Wednesday night game against the Atlanta Hawks that saw James total 12 points, one rebound and one steal.

After Thursday’s game, James was lauded on X by Oklahoma City Thunder center Chet Holmgren.

“Looked like a total pro” Holmgren wrote in response to a tweet summarizing James’ outing.

During his first two games, James had only 10 points on 3-of-19 shooting.

James and the Summer League Lakers will take on the Chicago Bulls on Saturday at 7 p.m. ET.
