James was working out with other teammates at USC's Galen Center on July 24 when the incident occurred. He was discharged two days later, and LeBron said he underwent surgery on the matter.
Doctors revealed that the cardiac arrest was likely caused by a "congenital heart defect."
James committed to USC in May. He chose the Trojans over Ohio State and Oregon. He was the 33rd ranked player in his class, and he was named a McDonald's All-American earlier this year.
