NBA DRAFT COMBINE MAKES DECISION ON BRONNY JAMES

Bronny James officially declared for the 2024 NBA Draft while retaining his collegiate eligibility, but most expect him to take the step to the next level.

Still, he'll have to perform well leading up to the NBA Draft, if he's going to have a chance at getting drafted. We now know that he'll at least get a chance to shine in front of the teams at the NBA Draft Combine.

Bronny James is one of 78 players invited to the NBA Combine. Everyone invited must participate, according to ESPN:

For the first time, all invited players will be required to attend and participate in the event or will be ineligible to be drafted, as part of an agreement the National Basketball Players Association reached with the league in the most recent collective bargaining agreement.

Participation will include medical examinations, sharing of medical history, biomechanical and functional movement testing, as well as strength and agility testing, performance testing and anthropometric measurements. Players also will be required to conduct team interviews and participate in media circuits, player development sessions and more. Players will not be compelled to compete in 5-on-5 scrimmaging and other live-action drills, but will be required to take part in shooting drills.

LeBron James, meanwhile, has said that he would love to play with Bronny at the next level. However, according to reports, that's no longer the "priority."

"The idea of them playing together is not a priority," Adrian Wojnarowksi said on ESPN's NBA Today.

"It's not foremost, at least any longer, in LeBron James' mind."

The 2024 NBA Combine will take place May 12-19 at Wintrust Arena in Chicago.
