To keep his eligibility, the former USC guard has also registered on the NCAA transfer portal.

The Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James’ older son, Bronny James, announced his candidacy for the 2024 NBA Draft on social media on Friday.

In order to preserve his eligibility if he chooses to return to college, the former guard for Southern California stated he will also use the NCAA transfer portal.

James will decide whether to become a professional by working out and meeting with NBA organizations. He can take his name out of consideration till June 16.

“I’ve had a year with some ups and downs but all added to growth for me as a man, student and athlete,” he stated. “I’ve decided to use my collegiate eligibility to enter the NBA Draft, and I’ll also be using the NCAA transfer portal.

James was regarded as an NBA lottery pick coming into USC, but his status has fallen following a lackluster rookie campaign. However, teams can think about choosing James in the hopes of enticing his father as well.

One of the all-time best basketball players is thought to be LeBron James. In addition to being a 20-time NBA All-Star, the Lakers forward is a four-time NBA champion and the MVP of the NBA Finals four times.

Before retiring, he has stated in the open that he would like to play with his son.
