JAKARTA - LeBron James' son Bronny is rumored to be included in the draft of the 2024 NBA player. This despite his first year on campus basketball (NCAA) at the University of Southern California (USC) is not easy.

Quoting Antara, James said through his social media that he would follow the draft as well as enter the NCAA transfer portal which allows him to move to another college team.

"I've had years going up and down, but, it all adds to the growth for me as a man, student, and athlete," said Bronny James.

He also thanked USC and its staff for their support in his first season.

Previously, Bronny James reportedly suddenly fainted while training with the USC team in Los Angeles in July, due to a heart attack.

The next treatment for the heart disorders he suffered also made Bronny James absent for five months and caused a relatively simple season for the player who had been an All-American player in high school.

James, who played his first game in December, averaged 4.8 points per game in 24 games he played.

If Bronny James is later included by the team in the NBA draft, it will increase the chances of him on the same pitch as his father, who will turn 40 in December.

LeBron James, who passed Kareem Abdul-Jabbar last season to become the all-time leading points scorer in the NBA, is reportedly not going to encourage his son to join him in the Lakers.

"LeBron will be very excited if it happens organically, but LeBron wants Bronny to find his own way," Agents managing LeBron and Bronny, Rich Paul, told ESPN, March.
