Freshman guard Bronny James,Esthen son of NBA superstar LeBron James, is making good progress from a recent heart scare and attending classes at the University of Southern California, Trojans basketball coach Andy Enfield said Monday.

James went into cardiac arrest during a workout last month, most likely the result of a congenital heart defect, the James family said last week.

"The good thing is he’s doing extremely well and he’s in class right now. And we all love him," Enfield said, according to the Associated Press. "I think everybody is hopeful that Bronny will return to the court. We just have to be patient and take it step by step."

The 6-3 James is part of a stellar recruiting class for Enfield this season. He committed to the Trojans in May, becoming the sixth McDonald's All-American to join the program since Enfield's tenure began in 2013.

"He’s a terrific basketball player and was playing very well (before the cardiac arrest). We all think there is a big upside in his game and he can help our team win," Enfield said.

The Trojans open against Kansas State in Las Vegas on Nov. 6 as they begin their final season as a member of the Pac-12 conference.
