Bronny James is opening up about his near-death experience at USC ... with the 19-year-old Lakers rookie admitting he's still not fully recovered.
"My days aren't normal anymore," James told Men's Health magazine in a brand new cover feature that dropped on Tuesday.
"I still feel like I’m getting back, I’m getting back to where I was" ... LeBron's oldest son added.
Of course, we broke the story in late July 2023. Bronny, during an unorganized scrimmage with his Trojan teammates, went into cardiac arrest, collapsing on the floor.
Thankfully, USC was equipped with medical equipment and trainers ... who were able to resuscitate him.
He told the outlet that he is doing better ... saying he has lowered the dosage of his heart meds since the incident.
Now he's preparing to take the court alongside his father for the upcoming season of the Lakers ... and while he isn't interested in playing it up -- he acknowledged to the outlet how surreal the moment is.
"Wow," he said. It's crazy that it's gonna happen."
With the massive expectations being placed on him ... he's doing what he can to find his peace -- and being the best version of himself both on and off the court.
"I like to envision where I'd be if I found complete peace, you know what I'm saying," he said. "I like to think about where I would be if I were in this state of mind. I just close my eyes and breathe."
