USC's Bronny James has been medically cleared to play in the NBA by the league's Fitness to Play Panel, according to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski and Jonathan Givony.
James collapsed and experienced cardiac arrest during a workout with USC last July. He was hospitalized and in the ICU before he was released three days later. He was diagnosed with a congenital heart defect, and later underwent surgery.
After being cleared to return to basketball, James rejoined the USC lineup in December. Following the NCAA season, he entered the transfer portal and declared for the NBA draft while maintaining his college eligibility.
