Bronny James' 2025 NBA Summer League teammate Darius Bazley suffered a horrific knee injury that could potentially rule him out this season. Bazley was arguably the best player on the Lakers during the annual preseason tournament.
He was in the middle of another stellar outing on Thursday against the Boston Celtics, tallying eight points, four rebounds and two blocks in seven minutes, shooting 3 of 4. However, his night and potentially the season were cut short with a brutal knee injury.
With 4:51 left in the second quarter, Bazley drove to the rim but landed awkwardly on his right leg after spinning into the defender's chest. He hit the floor with his knee bent. Bazley was in excruciating pain and was carried off in a wheelchair. Here's the video of his injury:

NBA fans reacted to the unfortunate incident online, showing immense support for the veteran who was a standout performer in the Summer League and likely to land a standard deal.
will be one of the biggest “what ifs” ever. career is over
ow, his knee/leg just gave out on him so likely season ending surgery is needed Sad to see considering he likely played himself into a contract this season :(
He was playing his way into at least a 2 way contract in the league smh hard luck
This is why succeeding in the NBA is so hard… finally looking like he might get a real opportunity on an nba team then this happens…
Sad for him. He is my favorite player in the Lakers SL team.
