In an exciting development for basketball fans worldwide, Bronny James, the talented 19-year-old son of NBA legend LeBron James, has officially declared for the 2024 NBA Draft.
Bronny made the announcement on Friday via Instagram, revealing his plans to enter both the NBA Draft and the NCAA transfer portal. This decision comes after a challenging debut season with the University of Southern California (USC), which was unfortunately cut short due to a cardiac arrest incident during practice less than a year ago.
Reflecting on his past year, Bronny shared, \"I've had a year with some ups and downs but all added to growth for me as a man, student and athlete.\"
The young athlete expressed gratitude towards USC and his support network, stating, \"Thank you to USC for an amazing Freshman year, and as always [I'm] thankful for my family, friends, doctors, athletic trainers and fans for their support.\"
Last July, Bronny underwent surgery to repair a congenital heart defect, a testament to his resilience and determination to pursue his passion for basketball despite the hurdles. As he steps into the next chapter of his athletic career, fans are eagerly anticipating what this remarkable young man will achieve next.
