Lakers star LeBron James says son Bronny is progressing to a return to the court

MIAMI —

Lakers star LeBron James said his oldest son, Bronny, is progressing toward a return to the basketball court after a frightening incident this summer when he suffered cardiac arrest during a USC practice.

“Things are going in the right direction with Bronny’s progress,” James said from Miami, where he played four seasons for the Heat. “He’s doing rehab. Every week he gets to do more and more and more. We have a big moment at the end of this month to see if we can continue to go forward.

“If he’s cleared, will be not too long away from him being back on the floor and back with his teammates and practicing, with the notion of being back on the floor and playing game situations.
