LeBron James of the Los Angeles Lakers has revealed the real reason behind the shocking cardiac arrest of his son Bronny James last July 24 during practice with the USC Trojans.
The 38-year-old star said that after evaluations done by doctors from Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, the Mayo Clinic, and Atlantic Health/ Morristown Medical Center, the probable cause of the USC Trojans freshman's sudden cardiac arrest was an anatomically and functionally significant Congenital Heart Defect, Shams Charania of The Athletic reported.

The update also comes not long after LeBron and Bronny James were spotted at Drake's latest concert at the Crypto.com Arena on Monday, August 22.
The father and son duo entered the venue behind the American rapper and were given the VIP treatment.
