It’s looking increasingly likely that we will see NBA Basketball before the calendar turns to 2021 and the world of basketball looks to be getting to something resembling a regular schedule, including the highest levels of high school basketball in the United States. Bronny James and his Sierra Canyon squad haven’t played yet but Bronny’s Blue Chips squad will be the nightcap in a high school basketball tripleheader on ESPN2 that will air next Thursday.
Bronny and the Blue Chips will follow the marquee games, which will feature Bronny’s former Sierra Canyon teammate Mikey Williams and Lake Norman Christian Academy (North Carolina) against the perennial basketball power Oak Hill Academy. No. 1 ranked senior Chet Holmgren will take on No. 1 ranked junior Emoni Bates in a showdown in the 2nd game, before leading to the nightcap. Here’s a breakdown of the games from an ESPN press release.
