USC freshman Bronny James took the court at T-Mobile Arena donning grey sweats while his teammates warmed up for their opener against Kansas State on Monday night.

And as his team played, his father – NBA all-time leading scorer LeBron James – revealed what the family hopes is a path to Bronny being back on the floor.

‘Things are going in the right direction with Bronny’s progress,’ LeBron James said Monday night in Miami, after he and the Los Angeles Lakers played the Heat. ‘He’s done with rehab. Every week, he gets to do more and more and more. We have a big – a big – moment at the end of the month to see how we can continue to go forward.

‘If he’s cleared, we’ll be not too long away from him being back on the floor and back with his teammates and practicing with the notion of being back on the floor and playing in game situations,’ LeBron James added. ‘Everything´s on the up and up.’

Bronny is still on his way back from suffering a cardiac arrest during a summer workout. LeBron said last month that his son had surgery to repair a congenital heart condition that caused the collapse.
