When could LeBron James and son Bronny play together in the NBA?
The Lakers star will go down as one of the best players of all time in the NBA and has expressed one last wish: to play alongside his son.
Without a doubt LeBron James is in the conversation for the greatest player in NBA history. At the moment he is out of action, after suffering an injury in the game against the Dallas Mavericks, but despite his years, he will be back soon enough, and is still racking up record points.

This campaign LeBron reached a massive milestone in NBA history, becoming the highest scorer of all time, taking the record that belonged to another legend, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.
He could easily end his basketball career today if he wanted to, enter the Hall of Fame, and look back on a career well done.But the man dubbed the King has repeatedly expressed his last wish before leaving the court for good. He wants to play alongside his son LeBron Raymone “Bronny” James Jr. He has also expressed a desire to share a few minutes in a team with his second son Bryce, although that seems less likely at the moment.

When could LeBron and Bronny play together?
According to an ESPN projection, Bronny would most likely be arriving in the NBA in the 2024 Draft and it would probably be for a team that is not particularly liked by daddy James. The prediction suggest that LeBron’s son would be selected with pick number 10 and the team that would select him would be the Orlando Magic.
Bronny James is now a projected top-10 pick thanks to the significant jump he's made at Sierra Canyon, developing into arguably the best perimeter defender in his class while making strides with his shooting and playmaking .

Years ago LeBron declared the following for The Shop (2021): “I’m not going, I’m retiring. It’s over,” ahead of a possible transfer to Orlando, so a supposed move to this team seems complicated. That said, the chance of playing with his son may change the panorama.
