“Things are going in the right direction with Bronny’s progress,” LeBron James told reporters earlier this month. “He’s doing rehab. Every week he gets to do more and more and more. We have a big moment at the end of this month to see if 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.”
USC improved to 6-2 after a blowout win over Eastern Washington on Wednesday.
