The former USC star shot 0/1 from the field in four minutes of playing time.

Many people reacted to his brief stint in the game.

@Mr_713_: "Yeah, just send Bronny to the G-League and keep him there the rest of the season. When he gets in the real NBA game he don’t even want to shoot the ball. He just running up and down the court."
