Bronny James went into cardiac arrest <\/a>during a basketball workout at the University of Southern California last month because of a congenital heart defect, according to a family spokeswoman.<\/p>\n

The 18-year-old son of Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James<\/a> was stricken on July 24. He was hospitalised at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center and later was seen by doctors at the Mayo Clinic and Atlantic Health-Morristown Medical Center in New Jersey.<\/p>\n

A statement issued by Stephanie Rosa of the LeBron James Family Foundation said the probable cause of James' sudden cardiac arrest has been identified.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is an anatomically and functionally significant Congenital Heart Defect which can and will be treated,\u201d the statement said. \u201cWe are very confident in Bronny\u2019s full recovery and return to basketball in the very near future.\u201d<\/p>\n

The younger James was released from Cedars-Sinai in Los Angeles three days after the incident at USC's Galen Center. The following night he dined out in Santa Monica with his family.<\/p>\n

Bronny, whose full name is LeBron James Jr., committed to USC in May after the 6-foot-3 guard became one of the nation\u2019s top prospects out of Sierra Canyon School in nearby Chatsworth.<\/p>\n

James didn't join the Trojans on their European tour this month.<\/p>\n

Bronny James was the second high-profile USC basketball recruit to go into cardiac arrest in the last year. Vincent Iwuchuwku also was stricken during a workout last July, but the 7-foot-1 center returned to the court six months later, eventually appearing in 14 games for the Trojans as a freshman.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
