The family expressed their gratitude to the USC medical and athletic staff for their unwavering commitment to the safety of their athletes.

Bronny relocated to the USC campus a month before being admitted to the hospital. In June, the school made his arrival known through social media.

During that exact month, the Trojans disclosed that Bronny would don the No. 6 on his jersey for the upcoming season. Throughout his professional career, LeBron has alternatively worn No. 6 and No. 23.

Bronny appears to be enthusiastically following in his father's athletic footsteps, and LeBron has expressed his desire to share the NBA stage with his eldest son. In an interview with ESPN in January, LeBron stated, "I want to be on the court with my boy, I have to be on the court with Bronny. Whether we're on the same team or competing against each other, I don't necessarily mean guarding each other throughout the game. As a point guard, he has his role, and I will adapt to the team's needs, even if it means playing center. However, I would love to have a similar dynamic to Ken Griffey Sr. and Jr. That would be the perfect scenario."

To play against or beside his son, LeBron would have to remain in the league for the 2024-2025 season, which is when Bronny will first be eligible to be drafted.
