James' three previous appearances for South Bay were all at home. He entered Thursday's contest averaging 8.7 points, three boards, and 2.7 assists in the G League.
The Los Angeles Lakers selected James with the No. 55 overall pick in this year's draft and subsequently signed him to a four-year, $7.9-million contract.
