Bronny James Jr. will reportedly test his luck in the NBA Draft after being cleared to play in the NBA following his recent heart surgery.
The NBA Draft is rapidly approaching and will go down on June 27. Despite social media chatter claiming this year’s Draft class will be weak some stars are being born. One in particular is Bronny James Jr. the heir to the King James throne. In the Summer of 2023, the oldest James sibling suffered cardiac arrest during practice at USC.
Bronny has since made a full recovery but missed most of USC’s 2023-2024 season.
According to the New York Times, Bronny will try his hand at the NBA draft process despite a lackluster freshman year.
Let’s be honest, regardless if he balled out at USC or not he was likely going to the draft either way. Being the Prince has its perks and we’re seeing them playout in real time.
ESPN, reports Bronny has also received medical clearance to play in the NBA less than a year after heart surgery. He will have until May 29th to officially decide if he will return to college. If he does he will not play for USC but it’s likely the Lakers will try to keep LeBron and draft Bronny. This week the combine will begin 5-on-5 scrimmages which he will take part in and will give everyone a closer look at his skillset.
LeBron James’ dreams of playing with his son seem only weeks away from becoming a reality.
