NEW YORK: Bronny James, the 19-year-old son of Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James, was selected 55th overall by the Los Angeles Lakers in Thursday's second round of the NBA Draft.
LeBron was aged 19 and the reigning NBA Rookie of the Year when his now-wife Savannah gave birth to LeBron Raymone"Bronny" James Jr in Akron, Ohio in 2004. At a practice session last July, USC freshman James collapsed after suffering cardiac arrest caused by a congenital heart defect. LeBron James has until Saturday to opt into the final year of his Lakers contract or become a free agent, which would not stop him from re-signing a new Lakers deal.
The Phoenix Suns, who did not own a second-round pick due to a free agency tampering violation, were the only team other than the Lakers to have a workout with Bronny James ahead of the draft.France's Zaccharie Risacher was taken on Wednesday with the top overall pick in the NBA Draft by the Atlanta Hawks.
French forward Melvin Ajinca, who turned 20 on Monday, went to New York with the 51st selection. He averaged 9.7 points in the French league last season.
