LeBron James Says Bronny 'Doing Extremely Well,' Hoping To Play This Season
LeBron James Bronny's 'Doing Extremely Well' ... Hoping To Play This Season
LeBron James says Bronny is recovering so well from recent heart surgery that he's now hoping to suit up for USC this season.
The Lakers superstar revealed the plans for his 18-year-old son while meeting with reporters at L.A.'s Media Day on Monday.
Bron said his boy is "doing extremely well," and has already begun rehabbing to "get back on the floor this season with his teammates at USC."

"He's on the up-and-up," LeBron added.
As we previously reported, Bronny suffered cardiac arrest back on July 24 ... and was later diagnosed with a congenital heart defect that required a procedure to fix.
While docs believed the issue wouldn't derail his basketball career -- a timetable for a return to the Trojans' floor was not known. Clearly, however, LeBron thinks his son can get back within a matter of a couple months.
LeBron also called the summer "a whirlwind" that featured "a lot of emotions for our family" -- but he said the James Gang all leaned on each other to get through it.
"Happy to see where he is today," LeBron said, adding that he's dedicating this season to Bronny, "and we look forward to seeing what his future still has in store for him."
