Why Is Bryce James Returning to Sierra Canyon? Is LeBron James’ Son Eligible for This Move?

LeBron James and his family have had quite an eventful few months. Both his sons, Bronny and Bryce, have made crucial decisions this summer about their careers. On one hand, Bronny has shown commitment to the USC Trojans after graduating from high school. On the other hand, the 16 year old Bryce made a move to Sherman Oaks Notre Dame.

An eventful development, however, occurred as Bryce’s brief stay at Notre Dame ended. The teenager is making his return to the Sierra Canyon to continue his high school basketball career.

Bryce James makes his return to the Trailblazers

The youngest son of Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James, Bryce, is in the process of completing his third transfer in the last six months. The 6 ft 6 shooting guard decided to leave Sierra Canyon and joined Campbell Hall in May. Following this, he took a transfer to Campbell Hall from Notre Dame in August.

As per sources, he joined Notre Dame to improve his NIL value and Sherman Oaks was also an ideal program for the son of James to further hone his skills. Moreover, Notre Dame was just 40 minutes away from USC. Unfortunately, his dream to study and play basketball there ended in just three months.

According to the CIF transfer rules, Bryce is ineligible to play in the first half of Notre Dame’s season. In addition to this, he is immediately eligible if he transfers back to the Trailblazers. Furthermore, being out of action for so long will not only affect his NIL value but will also leave him away from being scouted.
