In July, Bronny James collapsed on the court during practice at USC and suffered a cardiac arrest.
He was then rushed to the hospital where he quickly was reported to be in stable condition and no longer in the ICU.
Only a couple of days later, Bronny was already discharged from the hospital. Dr Merije Chukumerije, a consulting cardiologist for Bronny James, said in a statement issued by the hospital that James was “successfully treated for a sudden cardiac arrest” thanks to “the swift and effective response by the USC athletics’ medical staff” after the incident.
Now, about half a year later, Bronny has fully recovered and was able to celebrate his comeback. In USC’s loss against Long Beach State, James Jr. played his first NCAA minutes, finishing with 4 PTS, 3 REB, 2 AST, 2 STL and 1 incredibly chasedown block – a family classic – in 17 minutes of action.
The game also set a new record for the highest number of tickets sold for any USC basketball game.
