LeBron James Provides Encouraging Update on Bronny James’ Health During Lakers Media Day
During the Los Angeles Lakers’ media day events, LeBron James shared a positive update on his son, Bronny James, who had experienced cardiac arrest during a workout with the University of Southern California basketball team just over two months ago.
“Bronny is doing extremely well,” LeBron informed reporters during Monday’s media session. “He has initiated his rehabilitation process to rejoin his teammates and play for USC this season.”
About a month after Bronny’s cardiac arrest, the James family representatives released a statement explaining that doctors attributed it to a congenital heart defect. The statement expressed confidence in Bronny’s full recovery and return to basketball.
Bronny, a highly regarded five-star recruit in the 2023 class, is also considered a potential first-round pick in the 2024 draft. LeBron expressed hope that his son could make a strong comeback after this serious health scare.
“It’s been quite a whirlwind with many emotions for our family this summer,” LeBron acknowledged. “Our strength lies in our unity. We supported each other throughout this challenging process, and we are delighted to see where Bronny stands today. We eagerly anticipate what the future holds for him.”
LeBron, who is entering his 21st year in the NBA and his sixth with the Lakers, emphasized his dedication to this season in honor of his son.

“No matter what’s happening in your life, family is the only thing that truly matters,” LeBron emphasized. “To witness what Bronny has gone through in the past few months has been a lot. I can only imagine how challenging it has been for him, as it has been for our entire family.”
“But we’ve drawn strength from a higher power, and Bronny has shown incredible resilience. If he were to walk through the door right now, you wouldn’t even know that he had endured what he did, given how well he’s moving and how full of life he is. It’s a beautiful thing to have him in the condition he is today.”
