Don’t expect the James gang to team up in the Association just yet — Bronny released a statement on the decision … saying he will maintain his college eligibility and enter the NCAA transfer protocol.
In other words, Bronny’s days at USC are over … and his next home could either be an NBA team or a different university.
TMZ Sports broke the story — Bronny suffered cardiac arrest while working out on campus back in July 2023.
He made a full recovery and worked his way back to the court … appearing in 25 games for the Trojans this season, averaging less than 5 points, 3 rebounds and just over 2 assists.
“I’ve had a year with some ups and downs but all added to growth for me as a man, student and athlete,” Bronny said of the news on Friday.
“I’ve made the decision to enter the NBA Draft while maintaining my college eligibility, and will also be entering the NCAA portal.”
“Thank you to USC for an amazing Freshman year and as always thankful for my family, friends, doctors, athletic trainers and fans for their support.”
LeBron may have to wait to fulfill his dream of playing alongside his son in the NBA … but like he said this week, he is supporting Bronny no matter what he decides to do.
