Bryce James featured in his third game of the 2026-27 college basketball season as the Arizona Wildcats earned a comfortable 90-59 victory over Northern Arizona on Tuesday night. The 19-year-old guard, who is the son of Philadelphia 76ers star LeBron James, logged 13 minutes of playing time during the lopsided win.
Arizona Dominates From Start to Finish
Arizona took early control of the matchup, building a 23-9 lead in the opening minutes. The Wildcats maintained control on both ends of the floor throughout the opening half to head into the break holding a 46-22 advantage.
Northern Arizona attempted a comeback early in the second half, opening with an 18-11 run to trim the deficit. However, Arizona quickly responded with an 18-3 spurt of its own, extending its lead to 32 points and putting the game out of reach.
James’ Season Progression
Before Tuesday’s contest, James went scoreless across six minutes of action during his season debut on Nov. 2. He followed that performance by scoring five points, recording two steals, and shooting 2-for-5 from the field in Arizona’s 104-84 win against Cal Poly on Thursday.
James previously spent the 2025-26 season with the Wildcats as a redshirt freshman before earning a spot in the team’s playing rotation this year. Arizona will return to the court on Friday when the squad travels to face Auburn, with tip-off scheduled for 9 p.m. ET.
