Bronny James may not play competitive basketball again
According to popular sports doctor Brian Sutterer, who runs his own YouTube channel, Bronny James may not return to competitive basketball.
“There are some causes of cardiac arrest that you find the exact cause, and it still isn’t necessarily safe to return to sports because the risk is so high of having another cardiac arrest and potentially dying,” Sutterer said.
He added:
“If they don’t find an exact cause and you don’t really know what happened, you have to have that discussion of what exactly are the risks of going back out there and playing.”
“Extremely serious situation we’re dealing with, then legitimately something that affects the rest of his career depending on what we discover and depending on what they have to do about it.”
Bronny James will have access to some of the best medical care in the world, along with elite physical and nutritional trainers. As such, whatever decision is made regarding Bronny James’ on-court future, it will happen following advice from some of the best in the business.
However, for now, basketball fans, and the James family, will be happy to see Bronny James returning some normality to his daily life. Anything to do with Bronny James’ basketball future can certainly wait for a while longer.
