LOS ANGELES (AP) — Bronny James joined his Southern California teammates at a preseason fan event Thursday night at the Galen Center.
James walked out of the court wearing the No. 6 jersey, danced to the music, walked to the center of the court, and smiled and waved to the audience in response to the cheers of the audience.
The freshman suffered cardiac arrest during a practice at the Galen Center in late July. His father, Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James, said earlier this month that his eldest son was recovering and expected to play for the 21st-ranked Trojans this season.
James is taking classes and spending time with teammates. Coach Andy Enfield said recently at Pac-12 media day that the junior is “doing well.”
The event, called “HoopLA,” features the men’s and women’s basketball teams. Forward Brandon Gardner dunks over USC quarterback Caleb Williams, and Williams holds up his phone to record as Gardner flies over his head Got off this moment.
The Trojans will open the season Nov. 6 against Kansas State in Las Vegas.
