The sports world was given a huge scare on Tuesday when Bronny James had to go to the hospital after being in cardiac arrest.
James went into cardiac arrest on Monday during a workout but was deemed to be in stable condition on Tuesday.
Even though he was tended to in a quick fashion, there’s a feeling that his career could be in jeopardy.
Dr. Brian Sutterer, who specializes in orthopedics and sports medicine and is a licensed doctor, spoke in a video about how James’ career could already be over.
“There are some causes of cardiac arrest that you find the exact cause, and it still isn’t necessarily safe to return to sports because the risk is so high of having another cardiac arrest and potentially dying,” Sutterer said, (first transcribed by Yahoo). “Some of these conditions, like hypertrophic cardiomyopathy or the anomalous coronary arteries like we saw Sharif O’Neill have, can be treated or repaired best you can with surgical intervention, but obviously that’s going to put Bronny out of playing for a really long time.”
“If they don’t find an exact cause and you don’t really know what happened. And you have to have that discussion of what exactly are the risks of going back out there and playing. Extremely serious situation we’re dealing with, then legitimately something that affects the rest of his career depending on what we discover and depending on what they have to do about it. My thoughts go out to Bronny and the rest of his family. Thankfully they had good medical staff that were able to save his life.”
Hopefully, Bronny is able to make a full recovery so he can continue his playing career and most importantly, live a normal life.
