AP Source: Bronny James Cleared to Play in the NBA

Bronny James, son of NBA superstar LeBron James, has been given the green light to participate in the league and is set to take part in the draft combine this week. The news was revealed to NBA teams in a memo on Monday morning, with all players at the combine undergoing medical examinations.

After suffering a cardiac arrest last year and undergoing a procedure to correct a congenital heart defect, Bronny was able to return to the court for Southern California’s final 25 games as a freshman. A fitness-to-play panel of three doctors reviewed his medical records and determined that he is fit to play in the NBA.

The 6-foot-4 guard is scheduled to play in on-court games on Tuesday at the combine, where he will showcase his skills to NBA scouts and executives. Despite his young age, Bronny has until later this month to decide whether to stay in the draft or return to college basketball for another season.

LeBron James, who just completed his 21st season in the NBA, has expressed interest in playing alongside his son in the league. However, he has stated that the decision ultimately lies with Bronny and that he supports whatever path his son chooses for his career.

The basketball world is abuzz with anticipation as Bronny James prepares to make his mark on the NBA, following in the footsteps of his legendary father.
