Bronny James Cleared to Return to Basketball


Back in July Lebron James' son Bronny suffered a cardiac arrest in the middle of basketball practice, caused by a congenial heart defect [click here if you missed that]. 

Now Bronny has been medically cleared to return to the game...

USC freshman Bronny James has been cleared by doctors to return to basketball just over four months after he suffered cardiac arrest at a summer workout.
The eldest son of Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James will have a final evaluation with USC staff this week with the plan to resume practicing next week and a "return to games soon after."
"The James family would like to express their gratitude to the incredible medical team, the entire USC community, and especially the countless friends, family, and fans for their love and support. Fight On!" a family spokesperson said in a statement.
LeBron James said Thursday that he has already informed the Lakers that he will skip their game if they play on the same day that Bronny makes his USC debut.
"It's exciting. I'm looking forward to his first game," LeBron said, adding, "Family over everything."
Bronny James, 19, suffered cardiac arrest on July 24 during a USC practice and was hospitalized for three days in Los Angeles. He underwent a procedure to treat a congenital heart defect.
