Bronny James’ final season of prep basketball is set to get underway in a major fashion.
After a big summer of AAU ball and a European tour that included stops in London and Paris, Bronny and the California Basketball Club (CBC) are headed to Las Vegas to take part in the Geico Top Flight Invite, which begins on Friday, Oct. 14.
For clarity, Bronny is still enrolled at Sierra Canyon High School, but the school’s varsity team often plays as CBC in tournaments such as this one. Bronny, the 35th-ranked senior according to ESPN, is one of many prep stars set to take the floor at the weekend invitational.
