Bryce James stats: Lebron James' son makes first college start for Arizona

Bryce James, son of NBA legend LeBron James, made his college basketball debut for the Arizona Wildcats in their season opener against UCLA on Monday, Nov. 2. The guard joined the Wildcats for the 2025-26 campaign but did not play in any game during Arizona's run to the Final Four. However, James' performance in the exhibition games led to him starting all three of Arizona's exhibition games, including the season opener.

James made an immediate impact in his debut, assisting on the first basket of the game when he passed the ball to Ivan Kharchenkov just one minute into the match. Despite starting the game, James played only six minutes, with three minutes in each half. He failed to score any points and went 0-for-3 from the field, while contributing one assist. The Arizona Wildcats were defeated by UCLA with a final score of 84-75.
