In just his fifth game, the son of NBA star LeBron James hit 6-of-11 shots from the field and dished out three assists, but his USC Trojans lost on the road to Oregon State 86-70.

"We feel comfortable playing him more minutes," USC coach Andy Enfield said after the game. "And as long as he can keep that energy up, I thought he did a great job tonight."
