No. 1 Arizona has decided to redshirt guard Bryce James, the youngest son of NBA superstar LeBron James.
The 6-foot-5 freshman has yet to appear in a game this season for the unbeaten Wildcats (22-0, 9-0 Big 12).
'The redshirting decision was just a long play, to give Bryce the most options in his career as his career unfolds,' head coach Tommy Lloyd told the Big 12 Network on Tuesday. 'I have real strong belief that Bryce will be a contributor at Arizona in the near future. He's really shown a lot of progress, not only learning our system but just physically maturing.'
Fellow Arizona freshmen Brayden Burries and Koa Peat are leading the team with 15.3 and 14.8 points per game, respectively.
Bryce was ranked as a three-star recruit out of California by the 247Sports composite in the Class of 2025. He was part of a Sierra Canyon School squad that won the CIF State Division I title last season as he averaged 8.0 points and 4.2 rebounds a game.
Bryce's big brother, Bronny, is in his second season playing alongside his famous father with the Los Angeles Lakers, averaging 1.9 points and 6.8 minutes in 27 games (one start).
LeBron James, 41, was recently named to his 22nd consecutive All-Star team and is the NBA's all-time leading scorer with 42,888 points.
