Last September, it was revealed that the UCLA Bruins freshman would have to miss the entire 2018-2019 basketball season after doctors found a "medical issue" that dealt with his heart. Last Wednesday, he let everyone know that he had to undergo surgery the next day.

Early last Thursday, Shaunie O'Neal, his mother, shared a photo from the hospital while narrating how difficult it is for her to see Shareef suffering. She even wished that she could take his place, or that she could hold his hand during surgery. Regardless of how old, big, or grown her kids are, she says that they will always be her babies. In the end, she entrusted him to God and that he is in complete control over the situation.

Now, the 6'9" rising basketball star is set to rest before heading on to continue his passion for basketball. He was rated a 4-star prospect and No. 41 overall player in the 2018 freshman class, and after he fully recovers from his surgery, he hopes to play for UCLA in the next season as originally planned.
