EL SEGUNDO, Calif. (AP) β€” LeBron James says his son, Bronny, is progressing from cardiac arrest in hopes of playing for the University of ΒιΆΉΚΣΖ΅ern California this season.

James gave the update on son Monday when the Los Angeles Lakers held their annual media day ahead of training camp.

β€œBronny is doing extremely well,” James said. β€œHe has begun his rehab process to get back on the floor this season with his teammates at USC. (With) the successful surgery that he had, he's on the up-and-up. It's definitely a whirlwind, a lot of emotions for our family this summer. But the best thing we have is each other."

Bronny is attending classes at USC and spending time with his teammates while he gets back to full strength. LeBron said the health scare was frightening for the family, but ultimately made them stronger.

β€œWe stuck by each other,” James said. "We gave Bronny strength throughout the whole process. We're happy to see where he is today, and we look forward to seeing what his future still has in store for him.”
