Auburn makes Bronny James’s first road game dull, even though it’s for USC.
Yes, Bronny James played his first game for USC a week ago, but it was not until Sunday afternoon at Auburn’s sold-out Neville Arena that the highly-anticipated son of NBA star LeBron James really got to know college basketball.
A student who looked like she was auditioning for a Dr. Pepper Fansville spot greeted him.
he had a beard, a bright orange wig, green-and-blue striped overalls, and no top on except for a coconut bra.
Connor Salter runs beneath the basket during Auburn at home and unhooks the straps attached to his overalls to show those tropical decorations. This is done to distract the other team while they are shooting free throws.
Auburn beat USC 91–75 on Sunday thanks to 15 points from Aden Holloway and 6 assists from Jaylin Williams. The Trojans’ James continued work his way back to form after having a heart arrest in July.
The Tigers (8-2) had the upper hand for most of the game in Auburn Arena, which was packed with NBA scouts for James’s first trip away from home. The Trojans (5-5) lost their third game in a row.
Troy coach Andy Enfield said, “He’s gotten better, but it’s not fair to judge him every possession right now.” “He came back and talked to us for a while. He works really hard.
His first year, and he’s been out for five months. We think he’ll be a much better player by the middle regarding the season than he is now, even though it’s very hard for him.
Bronny James didn’t talk to reporters once the game because he is still limited in minutes even though he has only been back for two games. But Auburn fans didn’t really react when he was on the court.
Brother James, son of NBA star LeBron James, scored five points to 14 minutes by hitting three of his four free throws in the last few minutes.
In the last two minutes, he had an alley-oop chance but couldn’t catch the ball, to which fans chanted “overrated.”
One player, Johni Broome, had 12 points, and Dylan Cardwell had 11. Ellis scored 22 points to lead USC. It was 13 for both Isaiah Collier while Oziyah Sellers. Collier made a mistake.
Holloway, a highly recruited rookie guard, thought it would be hard for James to get back into the swing of things on the court. Five Auburn players scored 10 or more points.
Holloway said, “I was just glad to see him back on the court and playing.” “Doing what you love is always a good idea. It’s really great to be able to fight out there.
James’s first game in college was at home a week before, against Long Beach State. It ended in overtime, and his father was there to watch.
On Monday night, LeBron James’s Los Angeles Lakers played home to the New York Knicks. He wasn’t at Auburn Arena today.
Long Beach State used a late surge to beat USC 84-79 in overtime, ruining the debut of Rising Star Bronny James. USC led by a maximum of 17 points in the first half.
James got back on the court in a matter of weeks after having a heart attack during a workout within late July before the season.
James was supposed to be limited in minutes before the game. He played 16 minutes and ended with 4 points, 3 rebounds, 2 assists, and a block.
There are a lot of people who helped me through this trying period in my life, like the Mayo Clinic and all that they did for me.
Please know how much I appreciate everyone who has helped me through this. They are also my coach, my friends, and other coaches.
“Bronny does a great job with the attention,” USC teacher Andy Enfield said. “He really loves playing basketball as a young man. He does a great job with the attention, but I don’t know what will occur in the future.
