Bronny James Drafted by Los Angeles Lakers

Son of LeBron James Joins Father's Team

Historic Moment in NBA History

NEW YORK - Years of speculation have finally ended, as Bronny James, the eldest son of Lakers star LeBron James, has been drafted by the Los Angeles Lakers.

The Lakers selected Bronny with the 55th pick in the second round of the 2024 NBA Draft on Thursday night.

The Lakers' draft night also saw them pick Tennessee's Dalton Knecht at No. 17, a choice that many analysts consider a significant steal.

This marks a historic moment in NBA history, as it is the first time that a father and son have played for the same NBA team.
