TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) – Bryce James, son of NBA star LeBron James, is headed to Arizona.
Bryce James announced his decision on Wednesday on Instagram and his father responded quickly.
“CONGRATULATIONS MAXIMUS!!,” wrote LeBron James. “SO PROUD OF YOU!!”
Bryce James will be the second son of LeBron to play Division I basketball. Bronny James played one season at USC before turning pro. He was drafted by his father’s team, the Los Angeles Lakers, and they became the first father and son to play an NBA game together.
Bryce James, a 6-foot-4 shooting guard, is rated as a four-star prospect out of Sierra Canyon High School in Chatsworth, California, in the 247 Sports composite. He was invited to the USA Basketball under-17 national team training camp this summer.
James is the second player in Arizona coach Tommy Lloyd’s 2025 recruiting class, joining five-star prospect Dwayne Aristode.
