LeBron James' son Bronny has confirmed he will enter the 2024 NBA draft as he looks to follow in his father's footsteps.

The 19-year-old suffered a cardiac arrest last July and had surgery to repair a congenital heart defect during his first year as a University of Southern California student.

But, providing he clears the required medical check, he could be about to join his dad, who is the all-time record points scorer in the NBA.
