Now, the 19-year-old will be falling out of next year’s mock draft until he can gain enough minutes with the Trojans and prove his worth at college level. Before this scary episode, he was considered a top prospect for the 2024 NBA Draft. The young adult suffered a cardiac arrest episode five months ago during a summer workout session in July, and weeks later was diagnosed with a congenital heart defect.
This comes as a blow to his NBA hopes, as he desires to play alongside his father before he retires.
Trojans coach Andy Enfield announced that Bronny James will still have to wait a long time before breaking into USC’s starting five right after LeBron’s eldest son made his college debut on Sunday.
