In July, Bronny was hospitalized after suffering cardiac arrest while practicing with USC. His family later released a statement that said a congenital heart defect was the likely cause and they believed Bronny’s condition could be treated.
While he has not yet rejoined the Trojans, Bronny is on campus taking classes. Exactly when Bronny will return to the court isn’t yet clear.
Bronny is a five-star recruit in the 2023 class and a projected first-round pick in the 2024 NBA draft. He committed to play for the Trojans over offers from Ohio State, Oregon and others in a high-profile recruiting process.
For LeBron, he is headed for his 21st season in the league.
