Now, LeBron's younger son, Bryce James, is preparing to make his mark in the basketball world. Set to turn 18 in June, Bryce will begin his college basketball career at the University of Arizona this fall.

Bryce James, a standout at Sierra Canyon School, is rated a three-star prospect by 247Sports. Before committing to Arizona, he received an offer from Ohio State in October 2023. Arizona extended its offer on New Year's Eve 2024, and he committed the next day.

He officially signed with the Wildcats on April 21. Bryce will join head coach Tommy Lloyd as the team looks to build on last season's NCAA Tournament Sweet 16 appearance.

Meanwhile, LeBron continues to defy age and expectations. The 13-time NBA All-Star, four-time MVP and four-time NBA champion wrapped up the 2025 season with another impressive campaign. Despite turning 40 in December, he averaged 24.4 points per game during the regular season.
Remarkably, James has played 70 or more regular-season games in back-to-back years. Drafted first overall in the 2003 NBA draft, he spent his first seven seasons with the Cleveland Cavaliers before joining the Miami Heat, where he won two titles. He later returned to Cleveland and led the Cavaliers to a championship, then signed with the Lakers following the 2017-18 season. He won his fourth title with the Lakers in 2020.

In March, LeBron became the first player to surpass 50,000 career points. By April, he had moved into second place on the all-time games played list and recorded the 144th triple-double of his career.

Could Al Horford retire from the Boston Celtics instead of signing with the Warriors?
Fans of the Boston Celtics have mostly come to terms with the fact that vet big man Al Horford will join the Golden State Warriors as an unrestricted free agent. But recent reporting has hinted at the possibility that the University of Florida alum's career might end up going in a very different direction. Per reports, Horford might end up choosing to retire from the sport should the situation with the Warriors holding up a potential signing of the Puerto Plata native -- the free agency of Golden State forward Jonathan Kuminga -- not resolve soon enough. What the other parameters are that could push Horford in either direction, if any, remain unclear apart from the length of time sorting out his future with the Dubs. But this bears keeping an eye on for fans of the forward and his (presumably) former team. The hosts of the CLNS Media "How Bout Them Celtics!" podcast, Jack Simone and Sam LaFrance, took some time on a recent episode of their show to talk it over. Check it out below! If you enjoy this pod, check out the "How Bout Them Celtics," "First to the Floor," and the many other New England sports podcasts available on the CLNS Media network: Listen to "Havlicek Stole the Pod" on: Spotify: iTunes: YouTube: This article originally appeared on Celtics Wire: Could Al Horford retire from the Celtics instead of joining the Dubs?

NBA Cup 2025: Schedule released for Rockets' group stage games this fall
Over four dates between Nov. 7 and Nov. 26, the Rockets will play the Spurs, Trail Blazers, Nuggets, and Warriors in Emirates NBA Cup 2025 games. Group Play games in the Emirates NBA Cup 2025 will take place on "Cup Nights" from Oct. 31 – Nov. 28.▪️ Group Play schedule by day: Group Play schedule by team: Schedule Release presented by @Ticketmaster. This fall, the NBA is set to play the third annual edition of the in-season tournament that it introduced in 2023. Each season, six five-team groups — three groups per conference — play a round-robin format. The winners of each group, along with one wild-card from each conference, advance to the eight-team knockout round. Each group features teams from the top, middle, and bottom of its respective conference, as determined by standings from last season. Now known as the Emirates NBA Cup 2025, this season's event tips off on Oct. 31 in team markets and culminates with the semifinals (Dec. 13) and championship (Dec. 16) at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. Nearly all Cup games also count toward the regular-season standings, with the championship the lone exception. On Wednesday, schedules for all group-stage games were released. For the Houston Rockets, who are in Western Conference Group C along with the Denver Nuggets, Golden State Warriors, San Antonio Spurs, and Portland Trail Blazers, the schedule is as follows: On designated 'Cup Nights' between Oct. 31 and Nov. 28, each NBA team will play four group-play games, Teams will play one game versus each opponent in their group, with two games at home and two on the road. Four teams per conference will advance to the knockout rounds: each first-place team with the best standing in group games and two 'wild cards' (a second-place team from each conference with the best group-stage record). The knockout rounds consist of single-elimination games in the quarterfinals, which will be played in NBA team markets on Tuesday, Dec. 9, and Wednesday, Dec. 10. The winners advance to Las Vegas. In sequential order, tiebreakers include head-to-head record in group play, point differential in group play, total points scored in group play, and overall regular-season record. Overtime scoring does not count toward the point differential and total points tiebreakers. To ensure that all NBA teams play 82 regular-season games, teams who don't advance to the knockout rounds will have two games added to their 2025-26 schedule versus other teams from the same conference who also did not advance. The two teams who lose in the quarterfinal round will play each other in a regular-season contest a few days later, for the same reason. In the 2024 edition of the NBA Cup, the Rockets advanced to the semifinal in Las Vegas before bowing out to the eventual NBA champion Oklahoma City Thunder. Houston defeated Golden State, now its 2025 group rival, in a knockout-round quarterfinal match last December.
