The Los Angeles Lakers are “very open” to adding Bronny James to their roster next season and could potentially draft him.
Bronny James is evaluating his options after his freshman season at USC, which includes declaring for the draft or transferring to another school. Bronny was a projected lottery pick in the 2024 NBA draft before his cardiac arrest and disappointing freshman season with USC. Bronny was moved by ESPN from the lottery in 2024 to the second round in 2025 in their mock drafts.
LeBron James is expected to be a free agent this offseason and has spoken about his desire to play on the same team as Bronny in the NBA.
