After the Los Angeles Lakers lost to the Miami Heat on November 6, LeBron James was asked to share an update on his son, Bronny James.
Bronny suffered cardiac arrest during a USC workout in July and underwent successful surgery to repair what the James family referred to as a likely congenital heart defect.
“Things are going in the right direction with Bronny’s progress,” LeBron said. “He’s doing rehab. Every week, he gets to do more and more and more. We have a big moment at the end of this month to see if we can continue to go forward. If he’s cleared, we’ll be not too long away from him being back on the floor and back with his teammates and practicing, with the notion of being back on the floor and playing in game situations.”
