The league thinks to inform organizations today that the panel’s 3 physicians evaluated and unanimously approved Bronny, allowing him to fully participate in the upcoming day’s pre-draft combine – a crucial step to make a case to franchise executives about his viability to be selected.
Bronny, the son of LA Lakers superstar LeBron James – is planned to be part in the combine’s 5-on-5 scrimmages beginning tomorrow, which will give the league executives a closer look at him after his mediocre freshman campaign at USC.
Bronny missed a few months after his heart problem, and that was a huge factor in his disappointing season as he averaged almost 5 points, 3 boards, and 2 assists in 19.4 minutes per match.
