ISTANBUL (AA) - ​​​​​​​Bronny James, the 19-year-old son of LeBron James, has been given medical approval to return to college basketball activities, an NBA insider shared in a statement Friday from a James family spokesperson.

"Bronny James is now cleared by his doctors for a full return to basketball. Bronny will have a final evaluation with USC staff this week, resume practice next week, and return to games soon after," Shams Charania shared in a statement on X.

"The James family would like to express their gratitude to the incredible medical team, the entire USC community, and especially the countless friends, family, and fans for their love and support. Fight On!."

Bronny had a heart attack during training in July and was discharged after being treated in the hospital for a while. The 19-year-old was diagnosed with a congenital heart defect.

During his high school career at Sierra Canyon, he averaged 14 points, five rebounds, and three assists in his senior year last season.
