Bronny James, LeBron James’ son, suffers cardiac arrest during workout – National | Globalnews.ca
Bronny James, Lebron James‘ eldest son, suffered cardiac arrest during a workout at the University of Southern California on Monday, The Athletic reports.
In a statement provided to the outlet Tuesday morning, a spokesperson for the James family said the 18-year-old freshman basketball player was treated in the intensive care unit before being released to general care.
“Yesterday while practicing Bronny James suffered a cardiac arrest. Medical staff was able to treat Bronny and take him to the hospital. He is now in stable condition and no longer in ICU,” the statement began.
“We ask for respect and privacy for the James family and we will update media when there is more information.”
The statement concluded with LeBron and his wife Savannah thanking USC medical and athletic staff for their “incredible work and dedication” to the safety of their athletes.
Bronny had recently committed to play basketball at USC and it’s been expected that he’ll follow his dad’s footsteps to the NBA. He is easily one of the most hyped up-and-coming players.

LeBron, 38, has previously said he’d like to play alongside his son. Last year the LA Laker said he’d “do whatever it takes” to play with Bronny for one year.
“My last year will be with my son. Wherever Bronny’s at, that’s where I’ll be,” he told The Athletic at the time.
“It’s not about the money at that point.”
