Just hours after his dad, Lebron James, agreed to an extension with the Lakers, Bronny James has agreed to a four-year, $7.9 million contract to play along side his dad.

Bronny James' rookie deal begins at $1,157,143 in 2024-25 and progresses to $1,955,377 the following year, $2,296,271 in 2026-27 and $2,486,955 for a team option in 2027-28, sources told ESPN.

The 19-year-old guard averaged 4.8 points on 36.6% shooting (26.7% from 3), 2.8 rebounds and 2.1 assists in 19.3 minutes at USC after undergoing a heart procedure last summer. He said the nearly five-month layoff because of the medical issue affected his development.

"We view Bronny as [a] Case Study One because [of] his base level of feel, athleticism, point-of-attack defender, shooting, passing," Redick said. "There's a lot to like about his game, and as we build out our player development program holistically, he's going to have a great opportunity to become an excellent NBA player."

James and the Lakers' No. 17 pick, Dalton Knecht, will make their summer league debuts Saturday in San Francisco against the Sacramento Kings in the California Classic.

LeBron James, who turns 40 in December, agreed to 2-year, $104 million deal to stay with Lakers.

The Lakers were coming in at 28-1 odds to win the 2024-2025 NBA Championship.
