“The risk is so high” - Return of LeBron James’ son Bronny James questioned by renowned doctor

As Bronny James recovers from his cardiac arrest, many fans are wondering about his basketball future. LeBron James has openly expressed his desire to share an NBA court with his son, marking it as a significant goal for him.

Although it's still too early to speculate on Bronny James' NBA prospects, some medical experts have weighed in on the risks involved should he decide to continue playing basketball.

Dr. Brian Sutterer, known for his YouTube channel that analyzes player injuries, pointed out that certain causes of cardiac arrest may pose serious risks if the player returns to sports.

"There are some causes of cardiac arrest that you find the exact cause, and it still isn't necessarily safe to return to sports because the risk is so high of having another cardiac arrest and potentially dying," Sutterer said.

"Some of these conditions, like hypertrophic cardiomyopathy or the anomalous coronary arteries like we saw Shareef O'Neil have, can be treated or repaired best you can with surgical intervention, but obviously that's going to put Bronny out of playing for a really long time."

Sutterer continued:

"If they don't find an exact cause and you don't really know what happened, you have to have that discussion of what exactly are the risks of going back out there and playing. Extremely serious situation we're dealing with, then legitimately something that affects the rest of his career depending on what we discover and depending on what they have to do about it."

Bronny James recently committed to play for USC next season but is likely to miss the basketball year as he continues his recovery and works with medical staff to assess the risk of returning to the basketball court.
