The future of Lebron James’ son, Bronny, in the NBA seems to be a little closer. The 19-year-old university player, who will appear in the Draft that will take place on June 26 and 27 in Brooklyn, has left very good impressions in the previous training sessions to which he was subjected with other prospective candidates to participate in the best league. basketball and sparked the interest of several teams.

In the last few hours, in the United States there has been talk about the possibility that Bronny could be chosen in the Draft and thus dream of being able to share the court with his 39-year-old father and star of the Los Angeles Lakers, who will be representing the USA Team at the Paris Olympic Games.

According to information from renowned journalist Sam Charania, Bronny has received more than ten invitations from NBA franchises to train, but he will only choose a few proposals. “I’m told he’s only going to visit a couple of them, and that will include the Lakers and the Phoenix Suns. He will only train in a couple of teams, two or three teams,” indicated the reporter for The Athletic on FanDuel TV.

It should be remembered that LeBron James belongs to the Los Angeles franchise and has until June 29 to decide whether he opts for one more year of his contract with the Lakers or will become a free agent. The King, who will celebrate his 40th birthday on December 30, did not give details about his future when his season ended with the elimination in the Playoffs against the Denver Nuggets, but if his desire to play with his son remains firm, he could remain in the California entity.

An important fact is that the Lakers will choose in 17th place while the Suns were 22nd for their selection. This would be key in case both franchises wanted to have Bronny James.

“LeBron said he wanted to play with his son. Bronny can’t do anything about it. And that’s nothing we should reject. If he wants to play with his son, that’s it. But again, I have a job to do representing Bronny and LeBron,” agent Rich Paul said in a note with Bleacher Report.

The representative added: “LeBron’s season is over. I’m focused on Bronny and the rest of our draft class. If he lines up where he can play with his dad, great. Am I necessarily focused on that? Not at all. “I am focused on a planned investment in team and seriousness when it comes to fit and opportunity.”

After his practices at the Chicago Draft Combine, Bronny was asked about his desire to share a team with his father and his response was that he is not thinking specifically about that. “My dream has always been to make my name known, make a name for myself and reach the NBA. It is the goal that everyone has,” said the young man who currently plays for the University of Southern California Trojans and who in July 2023 survived cardiac arrest while training with his team.
