Bronny James’ collapse during a basketball workout with the University of Southern California last month resulted from a congenital heart defect, according to a family spokesperson this week.
On Friday, Shams Charania tweeted a statement from a spokesperson of the James family that revealed doctors at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center identified LeBron James‘s oldest son’s cardiac arrest was due to an “anatomically and functionally significant” congenital heart defect.
“After a comprehensive initial evaluation at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center led by Dr. Merije Chukumerije and follow-up evaluations at the Mayo Clinic led by Dr. Michael J. Ackerman and Atlantic Health/Morristown Medical Center led by Dr. Matthew W. Martinez, the probable cause of Mr. James’ sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) has been identified,” the spokesperson said. “It is an anatomically and functionally significant Congenital Heart Defect which can and will be treated.”
