LeBron James<\/strong> and the Lakers punched their tickets to the In-Season Tournament championship Thursday night, but there was a different matchup the NBA superstar said he was pumped about — Bronny<\/strong>‘s first-ever game at USC.<\/p>\n

King James addressed the big news of his eldest son being slated to make his big debut this weekend with reporters on Thursday … and he explained how it’ll mean “everything and more” to see his kid fully return from his cardiac arrest in July.<\/p>\n

“Looking forward to that for sure,” LBJ said after the Lakers routed the New Orleans Pelicans in the semis in Vegas. “Super excited for that moment.”<\/p>\n

Bronny is expected to play in USC’s home game against Long Beach State on Sunday … after completing his first full-contact practice on Thursday.<\/p>\n

LeBron explained he is excited to see Bronny run out on the court with his teammates following his medical clearance<\/strong> … but also when he enters the game — whenever that may be.<\/p>\n

“It’s a big milestone for our family, for sure,” LeBron said. “It’s another step for him on his journey in his basketball career. Looking forward to it.”<\/p>\n

Of course, LeBron previously stated he was willing to miss<\/strong> one of his own games in order to be there for his son … so we take it he will be front and center to soak it all in on Sunday.<\/p>\n

Luckily, the Lakers will have a few days off after going up against the Indiana Pacers in the IST finals … so no need to call in sick!!<\/p>\n
