[Saba Sports News] It has been a complete two months since Bronny James collapsed during USC practice, and there remains uncertainty about when he might rejoin the team for basketball activities. However, there is now a promising update from his father.
During the Los Angeles Lakers media day on Monday, LeBron James informed reporters that Bronny has been engaged in rehabilitation with the goal of returning to the court this season alongside his USC teammates.
LeBron expressed optimism, stating, ‘He underwent successful surgery and is steadily improving. This summer brought a whirlwind of emotions for our family, but our strongest support is one another. We stood by each other and provided Bronny with the strength he needed throughout this journey. We are delighted with his current progress and eagerly anticipate what the future holds for him.’
Last week, USC head coach Andy Enfield reported that Bronny has been doing well overall, attending classes, though he refrained from discussing medical details. It was noted that Bronny has not yet resumed practice with the Trojans.
LeBron’s remarks on Monday marked the first clear indication of Bronny’s intention to participate in USC’s upcoming basketball season. Bronny, at the age of 18, experienced cardiac arrest during USC practice on July 24, with the cause of this sudden medical episode being disclosed a month later. Medical professionals are confident in Bronny’s full recovery, and LeBron is confident that his son will continue his college basketball career.
