After experiencing a cardiac arrest on July 24 while participating in a basketball session at the Southern California university, the son of NBA legend LeBron James, who was 19 years old at the time, was later diagnosed with “an anatomically and functionally significant congenital heart defect” by medical professionals.

Within a statement that was distributed to PEOPLE on Thursday, a representative for the James family revealed that Bronny will be returning to the courtroom in the near future.

“Bronny James has been given the all-clear by his medical professionals to resume his full basketball career. The statement read that Bronny will have a final evaluation with the USC staff this week, that he will resume practice the next week, and that he will return to games shortly after that.

He sent out a tweet that read, “We feel you and I’m so grateful.” “Everything is going pretty well. We are not only secure and well, but we also have our family together, and we can sense your love. I wanted to take this opportunity to express to everyone how much your support has meant to each and every one of us.

To begin, I would want to offer my congratulations to Bronny on the choice that he has made. The statement was made by LeBron James on Spectrum SportsNet at the time. “I am extremely proud of him, and our family is proud of him.”

“For me personally, it is much more meaningful to me because it is the first time that someone from outside of my family has gone to college. One thing is certain: I did not attend college.

“It’s just a proud moment to see my son go to college, and he’s the first one in my family to go to college,” he continued. “It’s a moment that I will never forget.” He came to the conclusion that he was “super duper proud, super emotional, but just super duper excited and happy for his journey as well.”
