Bronny James’ cardiac arrest caused by congenital heart defect
By Bryan FonsecaThere’s an update on the status of Bronny James — LeBron’s oldest son — who suffered cardiac arrest in late July.
The younger James, who will continue to be evaluated on his road to recovery, has a congenital heart defect, a spokesperson on behalf of James’ family said Friday.
“After a comprehensive initial evaluation at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center led by Dr. Merije Chukumerije and follow-up evaluations at the Mayo Clinic led by Dr. Michael J. Ackerman and Atlantic Health/Morristown Medical Center led by Dr. Matthew W. Martinez, the probable cause of Mr. James’ sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) has been identified. It is an anatomically and functionally significant Congenital Heart Defect which can and will be treated,” said the spokesperson.
Additionally, James — a high-profile incoming freshman at USC — is expected to fully recover.
“We are very confident in Bronny’s full recovery and return to basketball in the very near future. We will continue to provide updates to media and respectfully reiterate the family’s request for privacy.”
In July after the scary incident, LeBron tweeted a statement regarding his son, thanking people for their support in his recovery, following the news.
“I want to thank the countless people sending my family love and prayers,” James wrote. “We feel you and I’m so grateful. Everyone doing great. We have our family together, safe and healthy, and we feel your love. Will have more to say when we’re ready but I wanted to tell everyone how much your support has meant to all of us!”
The Trojans are expected to begin their forthcoming basketball campaign in early November.
It is unknown if James will recover in time for the start of the season, or opt for a redshirt year for 2023-24
He has been seen since his recovery, going out to dinner with his family in California and playing the piano at home.
And it will end up being the best shooting night of his career...lol
Anyway great news he will make a full recovery. He is very lucky. I am sure if that happened anywhere else (like a pick up game in the park), he would not have made it.
Would something like that have shown up in a typical cardiac exam? I see stuff like that and think we should all see a cardiologist?
Similar to Herb Pope. If not for the imm help of Grant Billmeier when Pope went down in a pick up game at the Hall Pope would not be with us today. Grant saved his life.

Andy Enfield: Bronny James doing well, USC will be patient

LOS ANGELES -- Bronny James, the 18-year-old son of Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James, is doing well and attending classes after the highly regarded freshman guard went into cardiac arrest during a workout last month, USC basketball coach Andy Enfield said Monday.
"The good thing is he's doing extremely well and he's in class right now. And we all love him," Enfield said. "I think everybody is hopeful that Bronny will return to the court. We just have to be patient and take it step by step."
The James family released a statement Friday saying a congenital heart defect was the probable cause of James' cardiac arrest. The statement said the heart defect can be treated and that the family is confident in James' ability to make a full recovery and return to the court in the near future.
James was hospitalized at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center and released three days after being stricken on July 24.
"Our goal is to support Bronny in any way we can academically, athletically, and be patient with how things develop in his return," Enfield said.
James, a 6-foot-3 guard, committed to USC in May and bolstered what was already one of the nation's top recruiting classes. He is the sixth McDonald's All-American to join the program since Enfield became coach in 2013.
The Trojans had the nation's fourth-ranked recruiting class, including the top-rated player in guard Isaiah Collier.
Enfield said the pitch to James and his family wasn't different compared to other recruits.
"He's a terrific basketball player and was playing very well [before the cardiac arrest]. We all think there is a big upside in his game and he can help our team win," Enfield said. "It was a little later in the recruiting cycle and also was different because he comes from a pretty good basketball family. But it really didn't change our recruiting pitch because we're very honest with people and showed him an opportunity that we thought he could have here at USC. His parents were terrific through the whole recruiting process and have been very supportive since."
Enfield also said he was pleased with his team's development during a recent trip to Europe that saw his squad play games in Greece and Croatia.
Fifth-year senior guard Boogie Ellis has embraced the role of being a team co-captain, while Collier and forward DJ Rodman, a graduate transfer from Washington State, got to mesh with new teammates in game situations.
Enfield said Collier is one of the best passers he has seen come out of high school in a while, while Rodman can be a threat with his skills on offense.
The player who made the biggest strides on the trip was junior guard Kobe Johnson, a co-captain who averaged 9.3 points last season.
"He's the best defensive player in our league and also improved his offense," Enfield said.
USC -- which has made the past three NCAA tournaments -- will have a challenging nonconference schedule before starting its final campaign in the Pac-12. The Trojans open against Kansas State in Las Vegas on Nov. 6 and will play in a Thanksgiving week tournament in San Diego that includes Seton Hall, Iowa and Oklahoma. USC also has a road game against Auburn.
