Bronny James unlikely to join LeBron with 76ers, Lakers favor him
Summary

LeBron James has joined the Philadelphia 76ers on a two-year contract. Speculation surrounding his son, Bronny James, potentially joining him has been addressed, with ESPN reporting that there is 'no current plan or request' for this move. Rich Paul, their agent, indicated they are not a package deal.
