Bronny Not Bound to Follow LeBron as He Joins the 76ers

LeBron James’ move to the Philadelphia 76ers doesn’t mean his son Bronny will join him; Rich Paul says Bronny is not a package deal and there’s no plan for him to end up in Philly. Dan Woike adds that the father–son linkage isn’t guaranteed, while teams reportedly discussed Bronny as a potential target should LeBron switch teams, though it’s unclear if the Sixers were involved. Bronny, 21, played sparingly for the Lakers last season (roughly half the games, 2.9 ppg) and is seen as a possible 3‑and‑D bench piece; long‑term, playing for a different team could help him prove himself beyond nepotism concerns.
