National reaction pours in after Bronny James is cleared to play for USC
We wondered when this announcement would be made. On Thursday, it arrived: Bronny James has been medically cleared to return to the court and play basketball for USC. He will be able to resume practicing next week. Then the question becomes when he will play a live game for the Trojans. USC would love for him to play against Auburn on December 17, but a more realistic — and still good — return date is the Pac-12 opener versus Oregon in Eugene on December 28.
If USC can get Bronny James back for the start of the Pac-12 season, that’s as good an outcome as the Trojans reasonably could have hoped for. Making a run at the Pac-12 title is certainly one of the central goals this team carried into the new season.
As you can imagine, national reaction was swift and emotional when Bronny James’ return to the court hit the headlines:
CHRISTMAS GIFT

GETTING CLOSER
Tremendous news on Bronny James, who has been cleared for a full return to basketball. James, a USC freshman, will have a final evaluation from the teams medical staff before returning to practice next week, with a plan to play in games soon after, per a James family spokesman.

Bronny James has been cleared to play, and Mikey Williams will return to the floor as well. Though these are TWO ENTIRELY different situations, I'm happy to see the young men be given another chance to follow their dreams. 🙏🏾
