In late July news broke that Bronny James suffered a cardiac arrest while training at USC’s basketball facility. According to reports, the likely cause for Bronny’s cardiac arrest was a heart defect called Congenital Heart Defect. It is the leading cause of death for young athletes in the US. Thankfully, Bronny is on his way towards full recovery and he can also play basketball in the near future. Bronny graduated from high school this summer and he chose to represent the University of Southern California (USC) in his college career.

Coach Enfield further added that he anticipates Bronny “being a very valuable part of our basketball team. But that’ll be all sorted out. He’s the ultimate teammate because he cares about winning, and he has such a personal relationship with all his teammates. When you watch him on the court and you’re around them, that’s the first thing you notice within five or 10 minutes — and it’s contagious”.
