Bronny James did not exactly nail it while leaving the court for warmups ahead of Saturday’s game against Arizona State.
The USC freshman went viral for the wrong reasons when video of him entering the tunnel after warmups spread around the internet. James jumped up to touch the signage above the tunnel entrance, but he jumped a little bit too high and banged his head on it instead.

Full credit to Bronny for the vertical ability, but he might have underestimated his own leap there.
Bronny is averaging 5.8 points and 2.5 rebounds in 19 minutes per game so far this season for USC, and is clearly still getting used to the college game and working to grow his role. The fact that he is playing at all after his offseason health scare is quite the accomplishment, and this is a nice, albeit awkward demonstration of his physical abilities.
