Bronny James, the prized prospect son of LeBron James, is set to make his college basketball debut on Sunday for USC when the Trojans take on Long Beach State.
James, 19, went into cardiac arrest during a team workout this summer and was recently cleared to return to the floor. Testing revealed that James had a congenital heart defect, which led to the incident in July.

The freshman has been ramping up his on-court activity and has been practicing with the team for over a week. But the time has come for his debut with the 5–3 Trojans, whose most recent game was a loss to No. 7 Gonzaga last weekend.
This game is a must-win for USC in non-conference play as the young roster continues to try to find itself. The addition of James into the rotation should certainly help the cause.
Here’s how to watch James’s much-anticipated debut:
Game Date: Sunday, Dec. 10, 2023
Game Time: 4 p.m. ET
