Bronny James, the son of Lakers star LeBron James, is expected to remain i the 2024 NBA Draft class, according to NBA insider Shams Charania.
After James was cleared to play in the league following a scary heart issue ahead of his 2023-24 season in college, he is now likely to forgo his remaining collegiate eligibility and stay in the draft. Here was Charania’s tweet Monday morning with that news:
“Sources: Bronny James is expected to stay in the 2024 NBA Draft. The USC freshman has been fully cleared to play in the league as part of Fitness to Play panel and will participate in all pre-draft activities starting with the Draft Combine this week.”
This report came just minutes after news broke that James was cleared to play in the NBA. ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski had that report, and tweeted it out early Monday morning:
“ESPN Sources with @Draftexpress: In the aftermath of his cardiac arrest and a procedure to repair a congenital heart defect nine months ago, the NBA’s Fitness to Play panel has medically cleared USC’s Bronny James to be drafted and play in the league.”
