FILE - Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James, left, poses with his son Bronny after Sierra Canyon defeated Akron St. Vincent-St. Mary in a high school basketball game Dec. 14, 2019, in Columbus, Ohio. Bronny James joined his Southern California teammates in a preseason fan event at Galen Center, Thursday, Oct. 19, 2023. LAS VEGAS — USC freshman Bronny James took the court at T-Mobile Arena donning grey sweats while his teammates warmed up for their opener against Kansas State on Monday night.
Once the Wildcats finished their warmup on the west end of the court, James sauntered to the open space, found his place in the corner, and made three shots from long-range before converting a 3-pointer and exiting with the 21st-ranked Trojans. “He’s improving,” LeBron James said Monday from Miami, where the Lakers played the Heat. “He’s on the right path.”
There is no known timetable for Bronny James’ return to play, though there is hope he will this season. It has long been the dream of LeBron James that one of his sons – Bronny or younger son Bryce, who is also a rising star – play alongside him in the NBA. Bronny James would be eligible for the 2024 NBA draft if he chose that path.
