The wait is over! Bronny James, eldest son of Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James, has finally ended all speculation regarding his future by declaring for the 2024 NBA draft after one season of college basketball at the USC Trojans.

Bronny announced the same on Friday via his account on Instagram. He also intends to maintain his college eligibility and has entered the NCAA transfer portal in order to keep his options open.

 

 

Furthermore, as part of the process, he would visit various NBA teams and take part in training exercises, including a routine NBA fitness program to ascertain if he has become fit after his cardiac arrest scare. This will in turn make him prepared and remain attractive to prospective teams, irrespective of the star power he carries due to his familiar surname.

However, there’s still a high chance of him returning for a second year at college, but there’s no guarantee that he will be at the USC Trojans after their past coach, Andy Enfield, left to join SMU. Earlier, his superstar dad said that his son had a tough decision and would support him as a family.
