NBA teams were told Monday that Bronny James, the son of the Los Angeles Lakers' LeBron James, has been medically cleared to play in the league and is expected to participate in the draft combine this week, a person with knowledge of the matter told The Associated Press. ESPN first reported the NBA's decision. The clearance determination was likely expected, given that Bronny James was able to play the final 25 games for Southern California this past season as a freshman.
