The near-death experience cast doubts on Bronny’s future in basketball. However, just a few weeks ago, Bronny received the green light to play after months of dedicated hard work. Following a comprehensive evaluation by USC staff, Bronny returned to practice and started making appearances in USC’s games.
Having initially missed the beginning of his freshman season at USC, Bronny intends to contribute to closing out the season for his team. Well, not before being showered with abundant support from his parents.
