Bryce James, the youngest son of Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James, has been named to the USA Men's Basketball Under 17 Junior National Team. 

Bryce, a 6-foot-4 rising senior shooting guard at Sierra Canyon School, is making waves in the basketball world.

Currently rated as a three-star prospect by 247Sports, Bryce is ranked as the 40th best shooting guard in his class and the 21st best player in California.

He has already received college offers from Duquesne, where one of LeBron's high school teammates is now the head coach, and Ohio State, LeBron's favorite college team. USC has also shown interest in him.

Bryce's older brother, Bronny, recently had a tough freshman season at USC. Despite his struggles, Bronny has declared for the NBA draft and is drawing attention due to the possibility of playing alongside his father, LeBron. Bronny's average stats were modest, with 4.8 points, 2.8 rebounds, and 2.1 assists per game.


On the U17 team, Bryce joins Cameron and Cayden Boozer, twin sons of former NBA star Carlos Boozer. This achievement marks a significant step in Bryce's budding basketball career.

The Indiana Fever, Clark's team, will play against the Connecticut Sun in the first round on Sunday.  Connecticut, ranked third, will host Indiana, who is ranked sixth, at Mohegan Sun Arena. Caitlin Clark has been a major reason for the WNBA's growth in viewership and attendance.  Many fans see her as the face of this surge in popularity. However, the WNBA's official account on X (formerly Twitter) surprised fans by not featuring Clark in its postseason graphic. Instead, they chose Kelsey Mitchell, another star player for the Fever, to represent the team.

Photo: Daniel Dubois (Instagram) In a surprising result, Daniel Dubois knocked out Anthony Joshua in the fifth round on Saturday to stay the IBF world heavyweight champion. The fight took place at Wembley Stadium in front of a record crowd of 96,000. Joshua, who was hoping to win the world title for the third time, started strong.

Travis Kelce To Retire From Chiefs And Become Head Coach of Cincinnati Bearcats

Image
Photo: Travis Kelce (Instagram) As the college football season heats up, changes are on the horizon for the Cincinnati Bearcats. The team, currently 3-1, is considering a new direction, and Travis Kelce , tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs, is poised to take over as head coach. Kelce, 35, has had a successful career in the NFL, but his performance has dipped recently. Last season marked the first time since 2016 that he did not reach 1,000 receiving yards. This year, he has struggled to make an impact, catching only four passes for 39 yards so far. With younger players like Rashee Rice and Xavier Worthy stepping up, the Chiefs seem to be preparing for a future without Kelce. As he approaches retirement, Kelce has shown interest in coaching, particularly at his alma mater, Cincinnati. Photo: Travis Kelce (Instagram) Current Bearcats coach Scott Satterfield has faced challenges in his tenure, leading the team to a disappointing 3-9 record last season.
