Will Bronny James still be able to play basketball?

Earlier this year, we saw another athlete who suffered a similar fate – NFL’s Damar Hamlin
Back in January, Buffalo Bills Safety Damar Hamlin suddenly collapsed on the field after being tackled by Cincinnati Bengals’ Tee Higgins. Later on, it was revealed that Hamlin suffered a cardiac arrest. Various medical doctors have revealed the speculated underlying cause behind Damar Hamlin’s devastating cardiac arrest during Monday Night Football. According to experts, the second-year NFL player has a “healthy heart”. However, after receiving a tackle from Tee Higgins, Hamlin’s heart experienced a sudden irregular heartbeat or arrhythmia. The arrhythmia that took place seconds after getting hit on the chest resulted in what doctors would call Commotio Cordis or basically severe trauma to the chest area which lead to Hamlin getting a cardiac arrest.
Hamlin was quickly revived by the medical team and was immediately brought to the hospital. A few weeks later, he would fully recover and has already returned to playing football.
The internet is poured with prayers for the fast recovery of the young prospect
LeBron “Bronny” James Jr. is one of the most anticipated second-generation basketball players that will come to the NBA. He will be eligible for the draft in 2024. Tons and tons of prayers are being offered for the health and well-being of Bronny James. We, together with people on the internet, believe that he will overcome this hurdle. Prayers up for Bronny!
