Bronny James, the elder son of Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James, declared for the 2024 NBA Draft on Friday in a social media post. The former Southern California guard said he will also enter the NCAA transfer portal to maintain eligibility if he decides to return to college. James will work out and meet with NBA teams to determine if he wants to turn professional. He has until June 16 to withdraw his name from consideration.
James overcame adversity early in his college career after suffering a cardiac arrest while practicing last July. A James family spokesperson told members of the media at the time it was likely caused by a congenital heart defect. The 18-year-old made his debut in an overtime loss to Long Beach State on Dec. 10. James entered USC as a potential NBA lottery pick, but his stock has dropped after lack of production during a shortened freshman season.
