Bronny James recently made his debut for the USC Trojans just four months after recovering from a cardiac arrest that was caused by a congenital heart defect. The oldest son of LeBron James, Bronny was cleared to make a full return to basketball on Nov. 30. James missed the first eight games of the college basketball season but made his highly-anticipated return to the court this past weekend against Long Beach State.
Prices for the USC home game were among the hottest tickets in the nation on Saturday with the most expensive tickets selling for $56,393. By comparison, the most expensive ticket prices for the 2024 NBA All-Star Game are currently set at $11,123. That means the cost of attending Bronny’s USC debut is 5x more expensive than the NBA All-Star Game.
Despite Stats, Bronny James Impresses In USC Debut
James entered the game versus Long Beach State with just under 13 minutes remaining in the first half.
