I need help figuring this out

the linked NYT (they own The Athletic) article indicates Bronny James is doing very well recently - quote

"After a slow start during the league’s tip-off tournament, he’s been terrific on assignment, averaging 15.3 points on 54.6/42.1/90.9 shooting splits."

but basketball reference, also linked shows his stats, and he's only averaging 2 p.p.g. with a much lower shooting % then quoted in the Athletic article

in the last 5 games he's scored a total of 7 points

I just don't get it - I would not expect the Athletic to ever be that far off the mark

help me figure this out if you can

The stats in the article are from the G- league. The stats you quote are his NBA stats.
He's averaging 15 points in the one league, and about 3 in the NBA.

Arizona Wildcats romped to reach the Final 8. If they are allowed to play their full-court, running game, they may be unstoppable.

Arizona's team is called the Wildcats, but their motto is "Bear Down, Arizona." It's not about bruins, but is supposed to be the dying words of a former Arizona QB.
Jonn Salmon was the 1926 class president and the starting quarterback. He was killed in a car crash, and his final words were said to be- Bear Down.,

The Yankees started the season with three of last year's starting pitchers on the DL, and a fourth in the minors for lack of control.
So they start the season with back-to-back shutouts for the first time in their history, throwing a combined one-hitter today.

The UFL season is up and running. While it is a minor league, and few players will progress into the NFL, it is also a testing ground for rule changes.
This year, the UFL is testing four-point field goals (60 yards or more) and has a rule against punting in your own half of the field.
If it is 4th and 29 from the 48-yard line, the team must go for a field goal or go for it. If they miss the FG, the other team takes over at the line of scrimmage.
A rule they considered, but tabled, would have allowed teams to line up for a three-point FG from the middle or kick from the hashmarks for a four-point one, as the angle increases the difficulty.

LFL was the best alternative football league! Only football I would bother to watch. They need to bring things like that back. What they're trying to do now with girls' football isn't going to work, it's going to end up being like another WNBA that people are supposed to like but nobody really does.
