Shareef O'Neal: Bronny James Is 'Good,' Cardiac Arrest Won't Impact Basketball Career

Shareef O'Neal told TMZ Sports that he's been in contact with Bronny James, who is "good" after suffering a cardiac arrest during a July 24 practice with the USC Trojans.

"I don't think it'll affect anything," O'Neal added of the incident while talking about whether James would eventually get back on the court.

O'Neal, 23, dealt with an anomalous coronary artery—a heart defect—at the age of 18 that required open-heart surgery. He told Good Morning America in late July that he reached out to James.

"I just said, any questions you have, you can ask me because I can probably answer them for you," he said.
