LOS ANGELES — The time has come for Bronny James to make his college basketball debut.
LeBron’s eldest son is ready to return to the court after suffering cardiac arrest during a workout over the summer. James missed the first eight games of USC’s season but the star guard has made a full recovery and is ready to rejoin his teammates for the first time on Sunday.
James will look to provide a spark off the bench as he is eased back into head coach Andy Enfield’s rotation. The Trojans will get a boost from his hard-nosed perimeter defense, sharp shooting and savvy playmaking as they look to bounce back from a slow 5-3 start to the season.
James will get his first taste of NCAA action against in-state opponent Long Beach State, gearing up before USC hits the Pac-12 portion of its schedule after Christmas break.
The Sporting News is in the building at the Galen Center in Los Angeles, here to provide you with live updates, highlights and more from all the action.
