LOS ANGELES -- USC freshman Bronny James participated in his first full contact practice on Thursday, taking the next step toward potentially making his much-anticipated debut on Sunday against Long Beach State.
USC coach Andy Enfield said the team and medical staff will see how James feels over the next couple of days. But when asked if the plan is for James to play in his first collegiate game on Sunday, Enfield replied, "We assume."
"Today was his first day of contact practice," Enfield said after practice. "He looked good. He has to get his timing back and get in game shape, but I thought today was a good first day.
