It’s a well-known fact that LeBron James still has one significant aspiration left to fulfill in his NBA career, and that’s to share the court with his son, Bronny.
LeBron James, the star of the Los Angeles Lakers, has been vocal about his desire to have the chance to play alongside his son, Bronny, in the NBA, whether it happens with his current team or another franchise.

Nonetheless, The Athletic’s Joe Vardon has reported that there is a prevailing belief that the Lakers will find a solution to draft Bronny James and maintain the family’s affiliation with the Purple and Gold.
“If he declines a $51 million player option, James could be a free agent next summer. The serious health issue that befell his son Bronny over the summer and potentially delayed his entrance into the NBA Draft could be the single biggest factor affecting James’ free agency. He would want to be able to play on the same team as his son, if it’s possible, but even if Bronny is in the draft (he intends to play at some point this season as a freshman for USC), most observers believe the Lakers will find a way to make sure that happens in Los Angeles.”
Bronny James experienced a cardiac arrest while participating in a team workout with the Trojans in July. His father, LeBron James, informed the press last month that the 19-year-old will make a full recovery and be ready to play for USC in the 2023-24 season.
As LeBron James approaches the twilight of his illustrious career, he is on the cusp of turning 39 years old in December. Nevertheless, he remains highly motivated to contribute to the Lakers’ championship pursuit this season.
It will be intriguing to observe if circumstances align for him to return to Los Angeles in the following season, potentially sharing the same team with his son.
