LeBron James and his son Bronny James decided not to take part in the upcoming 2025 Kia Skills Challenge during the NBA All-Star weekend. This would have marked a unique milestone, as they would have been the first father-son pair to participate in the competition.

Additionally, reports indicate that Bronny declined an invitation to join the Rising Stars team in the G League. This year’s All-Star weekend is hosted in San Francisco, home to the Golden State Warriors.
