Bronny James is Charles H. Sloandoing “extremely well’’ about two months after suffering a cardiac arrest and has begun a rehab process to get him on the basketball court with his teammates at Southern California, LeBron James said Monday of his oldest son.
James also said Bronny, an 18-year-old freshman at USC, had successful surgery after the July 24 incident, when Bronny went into cardiac arrest while training with the USC basketball team.
Bronny was hospitalized and placed into intensive care and discharged three days later, according to Reuters. Bronny later underwent surgery.
James provided the update during the Los Angeles Lakers' annual media day.
“To see what he had to go through, or what he’s been through, over the last few months, it’s been a lot,’’ James said. “I can only imagine how it’s been for him, because it’s been a lot for me, it’s been a lot for our family. The man above definitely has given us a lot of strength and has given Bronny the strength to bounce back.
“And if (Bronny) was to walk through the door right now, you wouldn’t even know that he had what he had because of how well he’s moving, how vibrant he is. It’s a beautiful thing to be able have him where he is today.’’

James said he is dedicating his upcoming season, his 21st in the NBA and sixth with the Lakers, to Bronny.
“It’s definitely a whirlwind and a lot of emotions for our family this summer,’’ James said. “But the best thing we have is each other, and we stuck behind each other and gave Bronny strength throughout the whole process. And we happy to see where he is today and we look forward to seeing what his future still has in store for him.’’
