Southern California freshman guard Bronny James has been cleared to rejoin the team, a family spokesperson said Thursday.
The oldest son of NBA superstar LeBron James has been sidelined since going into cardiac arrest during a preseason practice on July 24.
“Bronny James is now cleared by his doctors for a full return to basketball,” the spokesperson said in a statement. “Bronny will have a final evaluation with USC staff this week, resume practice next week, and return to games soon after.
“The James family would like to express their gratitude to the incredible medical team, the entire USC community, and especially the countless friends, family, and fans for their love and support. Fight On!”
Playing without James, the Trojans are off to a 5-2 start heading into Saturday night’s showdown in Las Vegas with No. 11 Gonzaga.
