LeBron James in no rush to play with son, Bronny

Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James isn't worried about history being made on Tuesday night.

James and his son, Bronny, will have their first chance to become the first father-son duo in NBA history to share the floor together when the Minnesota Timberwolves come to town. However, the elder James isn't getting too caught up in the moment.

"Whenever it happens, it will happen," LeBron James said following a Tuesday morning shootaround. "If it's tonight or if it's down the line, whenever it happens, it will happen. But it's been a treat, and just in preseason, the practices, just every day ... just bringing him up to speed of what this professional life is all about and how to prepare every day as a professional."

LeBron James is simply looking forward to his son getting out on an NBA floor, as it has been just over a year since Bronny James suffered a cardiac arrest during a preseason workout ahead of his freshman year at Southern California.

"(It was) not too long ago that the scare happened," LeBron James said. "And when he's able to grace an NBA floor, if that's tonight or whenever the case may be, it'll be another one of those moments just to know the adversity that he went through.

"I've had a couple of family members that have had heart surgeries. Some of them older, some of them younger. And to know how long it kind of takes to get back to yourself, to see him be able to play in a college Division I game the same year that he had heart surgery was, like, a ‘wow' moment."

Bronny James, 20, first got the opportunity to play with his dad during a preseason game on Oct. 6. He was selected 55th overall by the Lakers in this year's draft.

LeBron James, 39, is entering his 22nd NBA season.
