LeBron James attended his son Bronny’s USC basketball debut, showing support just four months after the teen experienced a cardiac arrest.
The NBA icon sat courtside alongside his 9-year-old daughter, Zhuri Nova, during the Trojans’ game against Long Beach State at the Galen Center in Los Angeles on Sunday.
LeBron, 38, was observed cheering and clapping from the sidelines during the 19-year-old’s first collegiate game, which the home team eventually lost in overtime.

But after the game, the teenager was all smiles, saying how happy he was to be back on the court after his summertime health scare.
Bronny said, “I just want to say I’m thankful for everything.” Bronny finished with four points, two assists, three steals, and three rebounds.
“The Mayo Clinic, for all of their assistance to me. I appreciate my parents and siblings helping me get through this difficult period in my life.
I would like to express my gratitude for your assistance during this time. In addition, my teammates, other coaches who have been with me from the beginning, and my coach.
During a preseason team practice in July, the USC freshman experienced cardiac arrest.
Page Six was informed at the time by a James family representative that Bronny had spent a brief period of time in the intensive care unit.
Bronny was treated by medical personnel, who also transported him to the hospital. He is no longer in the ICU and is in stable condition, according to a statement.
