Bronny James Supports Nick Smith Jr. After Euroleague Signing

Nick Smith Jr. has officially signed a one-year contract with Real Madrid in the Euroleague, marking a new chapter in his basketball career. The young guard, who previously played for the Los Angeles Lakers, announced his move via Instagram, showcasing his new uniform with the Spanish club.

Bronny James, a current member of the Lakers, expressed his support for Smith's decision by commenting on the post, saying, "Damn that's fire bro be great!!!" Other Lakers teammates, including Adou Thiero and Jake LaRavia, also offered their congratulations.

Smith entered free agency after the Lakers opted not to exercise his team option for the upcoming season. During his time in the NBA, he averaged 7.6 points in 17.5 minutes over three seasons with the Charlotte Hornets and the Lakers. Now, he is expected to take on a leading role as the primary guard for Real Madrid.

Meanwhile, Bronny James continues his journey with the Lakers, despite his father, LeBron James, announcing he would not return to the team for the 2026-27 season. Bronny's contract with the Lakers is fully guaranteed, allowing him to carve out his own identity in the league while wearing the iconic Purple-and-Gold.
