Southern California basketball coach Andy Enfield said Monday that LeBron James’s son Bronny, who is 18 years old, is doing well and attending classes after the highly regarded freshman guard suffered cardiac arrest during a workout last month.

The bright side is that he is currently enrolled in classes and is performing quite well. As Enfield put it, “and we all love him.” Everyone, I believe, is rooting for Bronny’s return to the court. We can only move forward gradually and patiently.

The James family issued a statement on Friday speculating that James’ cardiac arrest was caused by a congenital heart abnormality. According to the statement, James’s family is optimistic about his prognosis and believes he will make a full recovery and return to the court soon.

After falling ill on July 24, James spent three days in the hospital before being released.

“Our goal is to support Bronny in any way we can academically and athletically and be patient with how things develop in his return,” Enfield said.

James, a 6-foot-3 guard, pledged his allegiance to USC in May, adding to what was already a top recruiting class in the country. Since Enfield took over as head coach in 2013, he is the sixth McDonald’s All-American to join the team.

The Trojans had the fourth-best recruiting class in the country, with guard Isaiah Collier being the consensus top prоspect.

According to Enfield, James and his family received no different treatment in the recruiting process than any other family.

Before his heart arrest, he was a fantastic basketball player. Everybody on the team agrees that he has a lot of potential and can help us win games, as Enfield put it. He comes from a really excellent basketball family, so it was a little later in the recruiting cycle and also different.

However, we are open and honest with people, so we still presented him with an opportunity we thought he may find at USC and continued to recruit him accordingly. His parents were great to work with during the recruiting process, and they’ve been nothing but encouraging ever since.

Enfield said that he was satisfied with the progress his players made on their recent European tour, which included games in Greece and Croatia.

Collier and forward DJ Rodman, a graduate transfer from Washingtоn State, got to mesh with new teammates in game conditions, while senior guard Boogie Ellis, in his fifth year, has embraced the position of being a team co-captain.

Collier, according to Enfield, is one of the best passers he has seen from a high school in a while, and Rodman, thanks to his оffensive prowess, is a potential threаt.

Junior guard Kobe Johnson, a co-captain who averaged 9.3 points last season, made the most progress on the trip.

According to Enfield, “he has improved his offense and is now the best defensive player in our league.”

USC, which has made the NCAA Tournament in each of the past three seasons, will face an arduous nonconference schedule before beginning its final season in the Pac-12. The Trojans will play their season opener on November 6 against Kansas State in Las Vegas before heading to San Diego for a tournament during Thanksgiving week.
