LeBron's Son Bryce Redshirts, Misses NCAA Tourney
29 Mar
Summary
- Bryce James, LeBron's son, redshirted and did not play this season.
- Arizona's No. 1 seed faces Purdue in the Elite Eight on March 28.
- Bryce's girlfriend was seen in San Diego, not at the tournament.
The No. 1-seeded Arizona Wildcats men's basketball team is preparing to face the No. 2-seeded Purdue Boilermakers in the Elite Eight on March 28, 2026. A significant point of interest surrounding the Wildcats is freshman guard Bryce James, son of NBA legend LeBron James. Despite his lineage and potential, James redshirted his freshman year and has not seen game action for Arizona this season.
While Bryce James is reportedly securing substantial NIL earnings and is in a relationship with Sadie Johnson, his on-court impact for the Wildcats' NCAA Tournament is minimal. Recent social media activity shows Johnson in San Diego on March 27, 2026, rather than attending the tournament games. James' comment on her post suggested he was unbothered by her absence.
