As LeBron James’ NBA career reached its last leg, the Los Angeles Lakers await the father-son duo game. As a report once revealed that King James is determined to play his last season alongside his son, Bronny James. Even though the 18-year-old’s recent health scare left the fans in disbelief, the James family later confirmed that Bronny would take on the court. However, the fans have another reason to worry about, as a recent rumor claimed that James Jr. could don the Boston Celtics jersey. Importantly, the LA team’s fans fear that LBJ might jump to their arch rivals to fulfill his dream.

Earlier this year, The Athletic’s writer Jason Lloyd reported that the Lakers superstar looks to end his career playing alongside his son. The article quoted James, which read, “last year will be played with my son… wherever Bronny is at, that’s where I’ll be.” While it seemed like an ordinary statement in February, now it left the Lakers fans in utter disbelief.

The Celtics rumor about LeBron James’ son leaves Lakers fans in disbelief

Bronny James ended his High School career on a high and recently joined the University of South California. The 18-year-old already impressed the fans with his athleticism and gameplay during his High School games. After he entered the college, fans expected the rising star to enroll in the NBA draft ahead of 2024 season. Following that, a recent rumor took the NBA world by storm, as it could change the course of LeBron James‘ last season in the league.

A Hardwoodhodini.com article reported that the Boston Celtics Twitter circulated the 2024 draft projection. Out of which, Bronny holds 24th spot. Moreover, the Celtics insider, Eric Jay Santos, believes that the rising star could end up in the Green jersey. While James is expected to play his last season alongside his son, this left the Lakers worried.
