LOS ANGELES -- USC freshman Bronny James will make his collegiate debut against Long Beach State on Sunday as expected, less than five months after he suffered cardiac arrest.

USC made it official Sunday morning by announcing that James is available to play. James went through his first two full-contact practices Thursday and Friday before the freshman guard and USC's medical staff determined he can return to action.

James, the eldest son of LeBron James, was cleared by doctors to return to basketball on Nov.
