Bronny James, the 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, according to reports from the Associated Press.
After being cleared by a fitness-to-play panel of three doctors, Bronny is now deemed medically able and fit to play basketball in the NBA. This news comes after the young guard suffered a cardiac arrest last year and underwent a procedure to correct a congenital heart defect.
Bronny, who played for Southern California this past season, is scheduled to participate in on-court games at the combine on Tuesday. The 6-foot-4 guard averaged 4.8 points, 2.8 rebounds, and 2.1 assists during his freshman year at USC.
LeBron James, who has expressed interest in playing alongside his son in the NBA, has not made any definitive statements about their future together on the court. The elder James, who just completed his 21st season in the league, emphasized that Bronny will ultimately make his own decisions about his career path.
As the basketball world eagerly awaits Bronny’s next move, the possibility of a father-son duo taking the court together remains a tantalizing prospect for fans and analysts alike. Stay tuned for more updates as Bronny navigates his basketball journey.
