LeBron James' second son aims to reach the NBA with his father and brother

The family of LeBron James continues to find its own space in various fields. Savannah James has become a prominent figure in the media, while Zhuri is beginning to carve her path into adolescence. Meanwhile, his sons Bronny and Bryce are trying to follow in their father's footsteps in basketball, although their paths are differing.

Bronny went through the University of Southern California (USC) before being selected in the draft by Los Angeles Lakers. However, since his arrival in the NBA, he has not yet managed to establish himself as a key player, despite showing slight progress during his first three seasons. Bryce, the youngest of the brothers, is closely following his development and is starting to seek his own path.

Bryce James debuts as a starter against UCLA

Bryce is part of the Arizona Wildcats, an elite college basketball program. His first season was almost entirely dedicated to his training, without playing in official games. However, the 2026-27 season presents a different phase.

LeBron's youngest son was a starter in the three exhibition games that Arizona played before the start of the season and also appeared in the starting lineup for the debut against the UCLA Bruins. His participation was brief: he recorded one assist but missed all three shots he attempted in the six minutes he was on the court. He was then substituted, and Tommy Lloyd, the team’s head coach, did not give him any more minutes for the rest of the game.

Although his debut was not as expected, being part of the starting lineup of one of the top five teams in the country, as a sophomore, is a positive sign for his progress.

A future in the NBA alongside Bronny?

Expectations around Bryce are high. Many believe he has considerably greater potential than Bronny for a possible career in the NBA. His development at Arizona will be key to seeing how far he can go.

The big question is whether the two brothers will make the leap to the best league in the world before LeBron James ends his career.
