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.
