(Reuters) - Bronny James, the teenage son of NBA great LeBron James, is expected to return to basketball
"in the very near future" after he suffered a cardiac arrest last month, ESPN reported on Friday, citing a statement from a family spokesperson.
The 18-year-old went into cardiac arrest on July 24 while training with the University of Southern California basketball team. He was hospitalised and placed in intensive care, and discharged three days later. Follow-up evaluations have revealed that the probable cause of James' cardiac arrest was a congenital heart defect, according to the statement, ESPN reported.
"It is an anatomically and functionally significant congenital heart defeat which can and will be treated," the spokesperson said in the statement."We are very confident in Bronny's full recovery and return to basketball in the very near future." Bronny James was the second USC player to go into cardiac arrest in the last year. Vince Iwuchukwu collapsed during practice last July after suffering heart failure, and returned to the court six months later.

BOJ will keep current policy until at least July 2024, most economists say: Reuters pollThe Bank of Japan will start downscaling its massive monetary easing only in a year's time, the majority of economists said in a Reuters poll, as speculation for further policy shifts abated after a surprise yield control tweak last month. At the July 27-28 meeting, the BOJ modified its yield curve control (YCC) scheme and allowed interest rates to rise more flexibly, a measure officially targeted to sustain easing but seen by markets as a prelude to dismantling decades of stimulus. Only one of 22 economists, or 5%, expected the BOJ to start unwinding its ultra-easy policy this year, the Aug 15-23 poll found, significantly down from 50% in a July survey.
