NBA teams were informed on Monday that Bronny James, son of Los Angeles Lakers' LeBron James, has received medical clearance to participate in the league and is expected to take part in the draft combine this week. The news was shared in a memo sent to teams on Monday morning, with all players at the combine undergoing medical examinations as part of the process.
ESPN initially reported the NBA's decision regarding Bronny James' clearance. This development comes after the young player successfully completed his freshman season at Southern California, playing in the final 25 games. He had previously faced a health scare in July 2023 when he suffered cardiac arrest during a practice session, leading to a procedure to address a congenital heart defect.
