Bronny James has received medical clearance to play in the NBA. LeBron’s son has undergone different tests before being able to participate in the ‘Draft Combine’, an event in which rookies are examined by the different franchises. The positive results allow him to participate in activities and, in the future, also in the NBA.
There were some doubts about the health of Bronny, a 19-year-old, 1.93 meter tall combo, who suffered cardiac arrest and nine months ago had to undergo surgery to correct a congenital heart defect. Now, the three doctors on the panel evaluated him and gave him permission to play.
LeBron’s son is expected to participate in five-on-five games and allow scouts and franchise executives to have a closer idea of what he could contribute in the NBA after a first season at USC in which he has been below what was expected: 4.8 points, 2.8 rebounds and 2.1 assists in 19.4 minutes played in 25 games.
Bronny was included in the NCAA transfer portal to have the possibility of changing universities. He later declared himself eligible for the draft, although he reserved the option to return to college competition. He has until May 29 to withdraw his candidacy. Despite this, it has been announced from several sources that he will not withdraw his name from the draft and will be chosen in the rookie draw.
LeBron has always declared that one of his dreams, now that he is approaching what could be the last years of his career, is to play at least one season with his son. The forward has a unilateral option to remain with the Lakers, which has caused speculation about his continuity in Los Angeles and a possible selection of Bronny in the draft.
