Bronny James took the basketball community by surprise when the news of him collapsing on the basketball court during a workout hit the headlines. It is alarming that there was no clear explanation for the sudden onset of the condition in an otherwise healthy individual who regularly engages in workouts. Fortunately, doctors were soon able to figure out his diagnosis and he is now well on his road to recovery.

Now, a month after his diagnosis, the 18-year-old NBA prospect’s career seems to be back on track.

Bronny James has exciting news awaiting him

LeBron James Jr., affectionately referred to as Bronny, is on track to carry on his father, LeBron James‘ legacy. While there is no denying that they are related, they play in very different ways. Bronny James, a combination guard who stands at 6’3, makes up for his stature with a strong build, remarkable athleticism and agility. He has a rapid, strong vertical leap. He moves with fluidity on both ends of the court. Given his age and genetic makeup, there is a chance he could go through a growth spurt and gain a few inches in height.

Most importantly, Bronny stands out for his exceptional shooting skills. Playing for the USC Trojans, he has a deep range that is astounding. And when he’s in the zone, he can drain a barrage of threes in a single quarter. Bronny James also has a high basketball IQ, probably thanks to his NBA veteran father. In addition to having exceptional court vision and a keen sense of the game, he makes smart plays.

Being packed with such talent, Bronny James recently got noticed by an NBA scout.

“I think Bronny James will go in the draft because of who he is, and some team will really think LeBron James will come if they draft him,” an NBA scout told HoopsHype, “If the Lakers get a pick, they won’t pass on him. He’s a decent player.”

They continued, “He’s better than some guys who may get picked ahead of him. He’s solid, (though) not spectacular. He knows how to play. He can handle the ball well enough. If you leave him alone, he’ll drill a three. He reminds me of Austin Rivers as a player, and he’s (Rivers) stayed in the league for over a decade.”

However, is he clear to play?

Why did Bronny collapse?

According to a statement made by a James family representative in August, Bronny James’ cardiac collapse was probably brought on by a congenital heart abnormality. The statement claims that a thorough assessment of Bronny James’s condition was carried out at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center under the direction of Dr. Merije Chukumerije.

Following this first examination, additional evaluations were conducted at the Mayo Clinic under the direction of Dr. Michael J. Ackerman and at Atlantic Health/Morristown Medical Center under the direction of Dr. Matthew W. Martinez. The combined data suggested that the most likely origin of the condition was a congenital cardiac abnormality.

Despite the seriousness of the diagnosis, the family expressed faith in James’s full recovery and ultimate return to basketball in the statement. With Bronny now projected to be a top pick in the 2024 NBA draft, an exciting future awaits him.
