Bronny James intends to play for
USC this season after
suffering cardiac arrest during a team workout in July,
LeBron James said during
Los Angeles Lakers media day on Monday.
James said Bronny, his 19-year-old son and a freshman guard with the Trojans, had undergone "successful surgery" as he continues to work toward a return to the court.
Bronny was hospitalized for three days at a hospital in Los Angeles following the incident. 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,
who began practice for the 2023-24 season last week, Bronny is on campus taking classes.
