On July 24, 2023, it wasn't clear if we'd ever see Bronny James on a basketball court again. That day, the son of NBA superstar LeBron James suffered cardiac arrest during a team workout. On Sunday, if all things go well, the USC Trojans freshman appears to be set to make his debut against Long Beach State 49ers in Los Angeles, a miraculous return after months of uncertainty.
On Thursday, Bronny participated in his first full-contact practice with USC.
Forget his basketball lineage, his NBA dreams, his NIL value and his potential impact on USC's program for a moment.
