There’s an update on the status of Bronny James — LeBron’s son — who suffered cardiac arrest in late July.
The younger James, who will continue to be evaluated on his road to recovery, has a congenital heart defect, according to a spokesperson on behalf of James’ family.
“After a comprehensive initial evaluation at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center led by Dr. Merije Chukumerije and follow-up evaluations at the Mayo Clinic led by Dr. Michael J. Ackerman and Atlantic Health/Morristown Medical Center led by Dr. Matthew W. Martinez, the probable cause of Mr. James’ sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) has been identified. It is an anatomically and functionally significant Congenital Heart Defect which can and will be treated,” said the spokesperson.
Additionally, James — a high-profile incoming freshman at USC — is expected to fully recover.
“We are very confident in Bronny’s full recovery and return to basketball in the very near future. We will continue to provide updates to media and respectfully reiterate the family’s request for privacy.”
In July after the scary incident, LeBron tweeted a statement regarding his son, thanking people for their support in his recovery, following the news.
“I want to thank the countless people sending my family love and prayers,” James wrote. “We feel you and I’m so grateful. Everyone doing great. We have our family together, safe and healthy, and we feel your love. Will have more to say when we’re ready but I wanted to tell everyone how much your support has meant to all of us!”

The Trojans are expected to begin their forthcoming basketball campaign in early November.
It is unknown if James will recover in time for the start of the season, or opt for a redshirt year for 2023-24.
He has been seen since his recovery, going out to dinner with his family in California and playing the piano at home.
I’m sure if Bronny needs a heart transplant the Chinese will gladly donate a couple of young Uyghur factory workers for it. Free of charge.
Interesting, just how many “Congenital Heart Defects” seem to be “popping up” around the Country, now.
It’s been proven, if you have heart problems, the COVID shot could be deadly!!!
After all the years this kid has played sports NOW they’re finding a congenital heart defect??? I’m calling BS…..it was the good ole jab his Dad was so vocal about him and his family getting.
Congenital? Really? Does anyone really believe that? Nice try LeBron…covering up the damage you did to your son by having him vaxxed. I’ll pray for him, but you can go to hell.
