Following a long recovery process from a cardiac arrest this past July, Bronny James has made his college basketball debut with the USC Trojans.

The team tweeted out an image of Bronny's jersey hanging up in a locker prior to tip off and he was seen pulling off windmill dunks in warmups.

This was all happening while his father, LeBron James, watched on not even 24 hours after winning the NBA's first ever In-Season Tournament.

Bronny suffered from cardiac arrest back on July 24 of this year - stemming from a congenital heart defect.

He spent three days in the hospital before being released on July 27. He's been rehabbing this injury ever since in the hopes of returning to the court.

He checked into the game with 12:58 left in the first half of the game against Long Beach State - and missed his first shot of the day.

His first stint on the court involved him getting a rebound before checking out. Later, he added a monster chase-down block from behind - emulating one of his father's most famous NBA moments.

THIS IS A DEVELOPING STORY. MORE TO FOLLOW.
