Personal Bio/PreCareer Summary

The eldest son of LeBron James, Bronny averaged 14.2 points, 5.5 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 1.8 steals as a senior for Sierra Canyon in California and was a consensus four-star recruit. He was a McDonald's All-American and played in the Jordan Brand Classic and Nike Hoop Summit in 2023. He committed to USC, but at a practice in July ahead of his freshman season, James collapsed after experiencing cardiac arrest caused by a congenital heart defect. He was released from the hospital a few days later and ultimately got some action for the Trojans after missing the first eight games of the 2023-24 campaign. James averaged 4.8 points, 2.8 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 0.8 steals in 19.4 minutes across 25 appearances (six starts) while shooting 36.6% overall, 26.7% on 3-pointers and 67.6% on free throws. He improved his draft stock with a stellar shooting display at the combine. James excels in catch-and-shoot situations and shows great energy and instincts on defense. At 6-foot-2, he lacks size at the NBA level, but his athleticism is considered elite. James can handle the ball and is a willing passer but isn't a true point guard. James projects to be a 3-and-D player at the NBA level, drawing comparisons to De'Anthony Melton. However, given his lack of experience in college, James may need to develop in the NBA G League. James' defensive prowess has drawn comparisons to Patrick Beverley and Jrue Holiday, too.

Cleared to face Utah
GLos Angeles Lakers
February 12, 2025
James (forearm) is active for Wednesday's game against Utah.
ANALYSIS
James has been dealing with a strained left forearm, but the injury won't prevent him from suiting up. Considering the Lakers are near full health, James shouldn't be expected to touch the floor.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Unlikely to be traded
GSouth Bay Lakers   G League (Lakers)
December 18, 2024
The Lakers aren't expected to include James in any trade talks this season, according to Jovan Buha of The Athletic.
ANALYSIS
James has been playing well in the G League with the South Bay Lakers, but he's not expected to generate much interest from opposing teams. Even if he does, the Lakers are not likely to entertain offers for him, and they'd likely attach him to a potential deal centered around LeBron James, according to Buha. James isn't untouchable, but a trade involving him, or his father, looks very unlikely.
