This upcoming basketball season may be a little quieter for the Sierra Canyon Trailblazers after Lebron James Jr. suffered a torn meniscus in his knee.

On Thursday, the LA Daily News reported Bronny mentioned the injury recently on Twitch, the live streaming platform mostly for gamers. However, he didn’t go into details on how it happened. According to reports, the injury went down approximately three weeks ago and is believed to be “season-ending.”

However, with California still prohibiting indoor high school competitions such as basketball and volleyball due to COVID-19 restrictions, recovering from surgery during this time may work in Bronny’s favor.

Bronny, the eldest son of NBA superstar Lebron James, is a sophomore at Sierra Canyon and has already been ranked 19th nationally, regardless of position. 247sports.com, lists him as a four-star recruit on their ‘Class of 2023’ list.

it’s no secret that Lebron has hopes for his son to join him in the NBA, preferably on the same team. During an interview ahead of the 2018 NBA Finals, Lebron sat down with Uninterrupted where he discussed the possibility of making his dream a reality.

“You want to ask me what is the greatest achievement of my life?” James said in the interview. “If I’m on the same court as my son in the NBA. That would be No. 1 in my lifetime as an NBA player. I’ve thought about it because my son is about to be 14, and he might be able to get in there a little earlier.”
