Bronny James to remain in NBA Draft, forego college eligibility


Bronny James, the son of NBA star LeBron James, will forgo the remainder of his college eligibility and remain the 2024 NBA Draft, his agent Rich Paul confirmed to ESPN on Wednesday. The NCAA deadline is 11:59 p.m. EST.

The 19-year-old declared for the draft in April after one season with the USC Trojans. Upon declaring, it was reported that James also entered the transfer portal. But it appears his sights are set on taking the next step in his basketball career.

A recent mock draft from ESPN had the Boston Celtics selecting LeBron James' son with the 54th pick this summer.

LeBron James has mentioned before that he either wants to play with his son on the same team, or line up against him before the 39-year-old calls it a career. The Los Angeles Lakers star can opt out of his deal this summer and become a free agent, making him eligible to sign with any team — including the one his son potentially gets drafted by.

Bronny James averaged 4.8 points, 2.8 rebounds and 2.1 assists in 25 games (six starts) for USC. The 6-foot-4 guard also averaged 19.4 minutes per game, shooting 36.6% from the field.

In July 2023, Bronny James suffered a cardiac arrest during a summer workout at Galen Center. The 19-year-old was cleared to return to basketball in November, and made his debut with USC in December after missing the first eight games.

The 2024 NBA Draft is set to begin June 26, and many eyes will on Bronny James and where he ends up going.

Along with getting you caught up on the weekend’s playoff action, we’ll give you a sneak preview of what could potentially be the greatest basketball book of all time, show you the best 70-year-old playground superstar ever, and tell you about a young star that just might choose religion over the fame and fortune of the NBA.

    Luka Dončić joins LeBron James, Magic Johnson and Jerry West as only Lakers to post 30 points and 15 assists in a game

    LeBron James joined a club of one on Tuesday , while Luka Dončić joined a club of four. With 30 points and a Lakers career-high 15 assists, Luka Dončić became only the fourth player in Lakers history to post those totals in a single game in a 136-115 win over the New Orleans Pelicans. The other three: James, Magic Johnson and Jerry West. We'll call that a solid group. That performance included a stretch of three straight 3-pointers to set the tone in the first quarter. It was once again the LeBron and Dončić (LeBrončić?) show, as Dončić's co-star posted 34 points on 10-of-18 shooting, eight rebounds and six assists. Center Jaxson Hayes also had one of the best games of his Lakers career, scoring 19 points on a perfect 8-of-8 shooting plus 10 rebounds. Dončić was two points away from tying his Lakers career high in points as well, and likely would have gotten it had L.A. not taken its foot off the gas in the fourth quarter. After a back-and-forth first half in which the P...
