Bronny, son of NBA star LeBron James (40, U.S.), who collapsed during the game, has been diagnosed as having no health problems. Bronny will participate in the preliminary round of the NBA draft this week.

Citing unnamed sources, the Associated Press reported on the 14th (Korea time) that "the NBA secretariat has informed NBA teams that Bronny is in good health to play."

Ahead of the draft, the "Draft Combine," a preliminary schedule in Chicago this week, will check the physical strength and health of the participating players.

LeBron James' eldest son, Bronny, entered the University of Southern California (USC) last year and collapsed in July of the same year after a heart attack while playing a college game.

Bronny was diagnosed with a congenital heart defect, underwent surgery and rested before returning to the court in December last year. 안전놀이터 추천

Initially, the possibility of leaving USC and transferring it to a place where he could secure playing time was discussed in the local area, but it is known that he has started a draft challenge.

Bronny, a 193cm tall guard, averaged 4.8 points, 2.8 rebounds, and 2.1 assists in the college league last season.

If Bronny advances to the NBA in this year's draft, he could be seen playing on the court with his father James. LeBron, the father of the team, has expressed his desire to play on the court with his son. James, a member of the Los Angeles Lakers, will become a free agent at the end of the 2023-2024 season.
