A little more than a month after Bronny James collapsed and lost consciousness during a USC basketball workout, his family has broken its silence about what may have caused his sudden cardiac arrest.
The James family revealed new details but stopped short of offering an exact diagnosis on Friday in a statement expressing optimism that Bronny will make a full recovery and “return to basketball in the very near future.”
The probable cause of Bronny’s cardiac arrest is “an anatomically and functionally significant congenital heart defect,” according to the statement from a family spokesperson. The condition “can and will be treated,” the statement said.
