Just because Bronny James is bouncing between the NBA and G League doesn't mean his hoops career is cooked ... so says Metta World Peace, who tells TMZ Sports the Lakers rookie is getting a great opportunity to develop.

James -- the 55th overall pick -- was assigned to the South Bay Lakers on Nov. 7 ... after the guard averaged 0.7 points, and 2.7 minutes of playing time in six games with the big dogs.

It's not your average move, though ... as Bronny will only play home games for South Bay and continue to travel with his pops and the rest of his Lakers teammates for NBA games as well.

UPDATE

3:09 PM PT -- Elon Musk has responded to his transgender daughter, Vivian Jenna Wilson's desire to leave the U.S.A. over Donald Trump's election win ... by reissuing his controversial opinion about her gender identity.

As Vivian's reaction to the election results went viral, Elon posted on X and claimed "the woke mind virus killed [his] son."

The Tesla CEO expressed a similar sentiment over the summer, when he claimed that Vivian had been brainwashed by left-wing propaganda leading to her transition ... which he dubbed the "woke mind virus."

Looks like these two won't be making amends any time soon.

Elon Musk's estranged daughter says she's bailing on the U.S.A. ... 'cause even though Donald Trump's presidency will only last 4 years, the people who voted for him are here to stay.

Vivian Jenna Wilson -- the 20-year-old transgender daughter who the controversial billionaire once said was "killed by the woke mind virus" -- claims she's moving out of the country after Trump's second presidential victory.

Wilson took to Threads to explain her choice ... telling her followers she's given the decision a ton of thought -- and, ultimately, she doesn't see a future for herself in the United States.
