Bronny James suffered a knee meniscus tear in training earlier this month and had surgery to repair it, sources confirmed to ESPN on Thursday.
James, son of LeBron James of the Los Angeles Lakers, told followers on Twitch this week that he suffered a knee injury. James is a sophomore at the Sierra Canyon school, which has not played an official game this season due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but plans to play a basketball season in the spring.
James, who is 1.80 meters tall and plays guard, averaged 4.1 points in 15 minutes per game as a freshman for the national power. He played in all 34 games.
LeBron James and partner Maverick Carter are producing a series of documentaries about the Sierra Nevada 2019-20 season, “Top Class”, with Bronny and his teammates. It debuts this week on Amazon.
The Los Angeles Daily News reported for the first time that Bronny James needed surgery for the wound.
