With the NBA expected to push the NBA draft age minimum back to 18 as soon as the 2024 draft in the next CBA, according to The Athletic’s Shams Charania, it will allow high school kids to jump straight to the NBA once again.
While this decision will have a bigger impact on players who aren’t currently in the NBA, one veteran player who will have personal interest in this rule is LeBron James.
James already told Sports Illustrated that he wants to play with both of his sons, Bronny and Bryce, in the NBA. This potential rule change could make that idea happen one year sooner.
