«Bronny got the green light from his doctors for a full return to basketball“, the James wrote in a statement: “Bronny will undergo a final evaluation by USC management this week, will return to training next week, and will play again very quickly after that.».

Considered one of the best prospects in American high schools, Bronny James signed in May with the Trojans, the team from the University of Southern California. At the end of July, he suffered a cardiac arrest during training with his team and collapsed on the field before being taken to hospital.

LeBron James, the leading scorer in NBA history, a four-time champion and a four-time MVP, has expressed in the past his desire to play in the league with his son.
