After missing the opener against the Lakers, the rookie made his Summer League debut on Sunday at the California Classic.

The Heat (1-0) were led by Pelle Larsson, who provided 18 points and three rebounds. Erik Stevenson led the bench with 16 points, five rebounds and three assists. Kel’el Ware collected 14 points, seven rebounds, two steals and three blocks.

James could make the regular-season roster if LeBron uses his pull to persuade head coach J.J. Redick, but the father-son duo already made history last season, so the younger James will look to prove he is deserving of a roster spot on his own.
