The James family was happy because Bronny started for the first time after overcoming a cardiac arrest he suffered in practice more than seven months ago.

The son of the number 23 of the Los Angeles Lakers recently joined the University of Southern California with the aim of preparing to declare himself eligible for the 2025 NBA draft.

Last Saturday, January 13, the eldest son of the top scorer in NBA history appeared in USC’s starting five, replacing the club’s star, Isaiah Collier – who suffered a hand injury – for the game.

against the Colorado Buffaloes, who ended up losing their team by a score of 68-58.

Bronny’s performance was not exactly the most outstanding during the 25 minutes he played.

 

He was 0 of 7 on field goals and 0 of 3 on perimeter shots to finish his poor performance with two rebounds, one assist and no scores.

What James has shown so far this season with his university franchise is quite poor, considering what was expected of him for being LeBron’s son and what he had exhibited in his time in high school basketball.

In the nine games he has faced so far this season he is averaging 5.2 points, 2.2 rebounds and 1.4 assists.
