On October 24, Beijing time, according to the American media TMZ, James and his son Bronny became defendants. The two of them have just been indicted for their alleged role in a car accident in 2022.

TMZ said court documents we have obtained show that the two plaintiffs filed the lawsuit in Los Angeles County on Tuesday afternoon local time...... Just hours before the father-son duo made their first appearance together in the regular season. The Lakers eventually defeated the Timberwolves, ending a seven-game losing streak in the opener. In this game, James Lang played 35 minutes, shooting 7 of 16, including 1 of 4 three-pointers and 1 of 1 free throws, scoring 16 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 blocks; Bronny played three minutes, shooting 0-of-2, including 0-of-1 from three-point range, and had one rebound.

In this lawsuit, plaintiffs Almanza Lopez and Kiara Rae McGillen allege that they were driving on a highway in Littlerock, California, on November 13, 2022...... At that time, James father and son bumped into them.

Lopez and McGillen said in the filing that they were injured and needed further medical attention. They also claim that the car they were driving was damaged and depreciated in value due to an accident. As a result, they sued the two NBA players for an unspecified amount of damages.

TMZ has contacted the plaintiff's attorney for comment but has not yet received a response. At the same time, the James father and son have not yet dealt with the matter publicly.

Being a defendant doesn't affect James' good mood. The Lakers star James updated IG social media not long ago, posting a set of photos of the father and son on the same stage in the opening game, and wrote: "Hollywood can't write a better script than this (father and son on the same stage), so we wrote it for them and brought it to them." History was made (crown emoji). ”
