USC Basketball: NBA Legend Attended Trojans Game to Watch Bronny James

Phoenix Suns superstar Kevin Durant was on hand in Tucson to watch Bronny James makes his second start for USC.

There was a star-studded crowd at the McKale Center in Tucson to watch No. 12 Arizona host USC on Wednesday.

Sitting in the front row was Phoenix Suns superstar Kevin Durant who traveled west on the I-10 to support Bronny James in his second-career start with the Trojans.

James, who has appeared in 10 games this season, played a career-high 30 minutes against the Wildcats. The freshman son of NBA legend LeBron James, finished with 11 points and was 6-for-11 shooting with six assists, five rebounds, one block and five turnovers.

He sunk his first field goal in four games just a few feet from where Durant was sitting.

According to Myron Medcalf of ESPN, Durant was in attendance to support James, USC, Arizona and college basketball.

"He was aggressive," Durant reflected. "He played well."

James has been limited this season after suffering cardiac arrest during a summer workout. USC head coach Andy Enfield told reporters that he is impressed with his development thus far and expects him to only get better.

The Trojans next hit the hardwood at Arizona State on Saturday. Game time is set for 11 a.m. PST and will air on Fox.
