Bronny James Progressing Well, Could Return to USC Basketball Practice Pending Medical Clearance

Son of NBA star LeBron James suffered cardiac arrest and congenital heart defect earlier this year; return to play dependent on clearance by doctors after "big moment" checkup scheduled for end of this month.

Bronny James, son of NBA superstar LeBron James, suffered a terrifying medical setback earlier this year when he was hospitalized following a cardiac arrest during USC basketball practice. Doctors have since stated that a congenital heart defect was the probable cause.
The basketball community held its breath when the news broke about James' health scare. He was discharged from a Los Angeles hospital just days after his cardiac arrest, and his condition has been closely tracked in the sports world.
LeBron James has provided hopeful updates about his son's ongoing recovery, stating that 'things are going in the right direction with Bronny's progress' during a press conference following a Lakers game.
LeBron James detailed that Bronny has been undertaking rehab work and improving each week, also mentioning a 'big moment at the end of this month to see if we can continue to go forward.' If Bronny is medically cleared at this crucial checkup, he could soon return to practicing with his teammates and potentially play in USC's basketball games.
The pros and cons of Bronny playing this year have been debated, with some sports commentators suggesting that it might be beneficial for him to sit out the season as a precautionary measure. With a talent-laden squad already present at USC, they argue that the risk might outweigh the reward in Bronny's case.
