Bronny James, son of basketball icon LeBron James, is all set to enter the NBA draft this year, nine months after undergoing surgery to repair a congenital heart defect that caused him to suffer cardiac arrest during a workout last year. Bronny was unanimously approved for play by a panel of three physicians from the NBA, sources told ESPN, which means he can partake in this week’s pre-draft combine. That event will give him a significant stage to show off his skills as a 2024 prospect. James was sidelined early in the 2023 season as a University of Southern California freshman, following his cardiac arrest and the months of recovery it took to regain his strength. James declared for the June draft but has until May 29 to decide whether to stay in college or go pro. If he chooses to stay in college, James has said he will explore transferring to another school. The 19-year-old four-star recruit is expected to participate in the 5-on-5 draft combine beginning Tuesday.
