Bryce James, the son of NBA superstar LeBron James, has made a significant decision regarding his basketball career by committing to play for the University of Arizona. The announcement was made by Bryce James himself on Instagram, drawing praise from his father, LeBron James, who expressed his pride and congratulations for his son's achievement.
This move marks Bryce James as the second son of LeBron James to pursue Division I basketball, following in the footsteps of his brother Bronny James. Bronny previously played a season at USC before transitioning to the professional level, where he was drafted by the Los Angeles Lakers, his father's team. The father-son duo made history by becoming the first such pair to share the court in an NBA game.
Standing at 6 feet 4 inches, Bryce James is a shooting guard with a four-star rating as a prospect from Sierra Canyon High School in Chatsworth, California, according to the 247 Sports composite. His talent was further recognized when he received an invitation to the USA Basketball under-17 national team training camp over the summer.
Bryce James joins Arizona coach Tommy Lloyd's 2025 recruiting class as the second player, alongside five-star prospect Dwayne Aristode. This addition bolsters the team's roster and sets the stage for an exciting future for Arizona basketball.
