Bronny James, the oldest son of LeBron James, and his Sierra Canyon basketball team will reportedly play Gatorade National Boys Basketball Player of the Year Emoni Bates in The Battle Basketball Showcase next month, according to Adam Zagoria of Forbes.
The event will be sponsored by Los Angeles Lakers guard Danny Green and will be held Nov. 20-21 at the Allen Event Center in Dallas, Texas. The showcase will six high schools from across the country and will likely be televised nationally.
Green was motivated to help host the event to allow players the opportunity to showcase their games after missing out on several summer camps and tournaments. The event will feature eight nationally-ranked players, including James (No. 19, 2023) and Bates (No. 1, 2022).
With the NBA in the midst of the offseason, both Green and James are expected to attend the event since the 2020-21 season isn’t expected to begin until at least Christmas Day.
