Bronny James, 18, collapsed while training with his team at the University of Southern California, Los Angeles.
He was rushed to hospital and then remained in care for a few days. LeBron was then reassuring about the state of health of his son.
After examination, the “probable cause” of Bronny’s cardiac arrest has been identified, according to the family. “It is a (…) congenital heart deficiency which can and will be treated”.
“We are confident in Bronny’s full recovery and return to basketball in the very near future. We will continue to update the media and reiterate the family’s request for privacy,” the James statement concluded.
