LeBron James‘ son, Bronny James, has been given the all-clear to return to playing basketball at the University of South California. This exciting news comes after his cardiac arrest earlier this year.
In July, the 19-year-old suddenly collapsed on the court during a USC practice game at the Galen Center, resulting in a three-day hospital stay at UCLA.
After being diagnosed with a congenital heart defect, there were doubts about whether Bronny would be able to return to the court and follow in his father’s footsteps. However, a recent statement from the family’s representative confirmed that Bronny has been cleared to make a full return and is expected to undergo a final evaluation with USC staff this week.
LeBron was in good spirits, speaking to reporters about his son’s positive news after the Lakers’ game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. He shared that Bronny has been focusing on a speedy recovery, and it’s gratifying for him to see his son back doing what he loves.
While there is no official return date set, reports have surfaced about Bronny training with his teammates as he aims to resume his basketball career.
Having committed to USC’s Trojans and receiving offers from Ohio State and Oregon, Bronny is eager to make a comeback and fulfill his dreams of playing basketball.
If he is picked to play in the NBA Draft next year, he could potentially make history as part of the first ever father-son duo to play with or against each other in the NBA, a dream that LeBron has expressed in the past.
