Bronny James seen for the first time since his cardiac arrest as he heads to dinner with LeBron and family in Los Angeles just four days after being taken ill

Bronny James has gone out for dinner with his family in Los Angeles, just four days after having a cardiac arrest during basketball practice.

He was joined by his famous father LeBron, his mom Savannah, brother Bryce and young sister Zuri. He was seen leaving the restaurant with LeBron and Bryce standing close by.

Bronny, 18, was taken ill on Monday morning during basketball practice at USC and was treated at the Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, before being discharged later this week.

And the family headed out for dinner at the celeb hotspot, Italian restaurant Giorgio Baldi in Santa Monica at the end of a draining week.

It marks an incredible turnaround for Bronny who was taken ill only four days ago 

Earlier on Friday, LeBron posted pictures on Instagram of him playing basketball with Bryce. The Lakers star wrote the poignant caption: ‘It is my job to always remain strong and to show them the blueprint regardless of the outcome.’

He also referred to Bryce in the hashtags as ‘BryceMaximus’ and ‘MyTwin’.

Bronny meanwhile has not spoken since being taken ill but there appears to be reason for cautious optimism over his recovery.

Upon announcing that Bronny had been discharged, Cedars-Sinai said Thursday in statement: ‘Thanks to the swift and effective response by the USC athletics’ medical staff, Bronny James was successfully treated for a sudden cardiac arrest. 

‘He arrived at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center fully conscious, neurologically intact and stable. 

‘Mr. James was cared for promptly by highly-trained staff and has been discharged home, where he is resting. 

‘Although his workup will be ongoing, we are hopeful for his continued progress and are encouraged by his response, resilience, and his family and community support.’

LeBron, meanwhile, tweeted out a statement on Thursday thanking fans for the messages of support his family have been sent.

‘I want to thank the countless people sending my family love and prayers,’ he wrote on Twitter.

”We feel you and I’m so grateful. Everyone doing great. We have our family together, safe and healthy, and we feel your love. 

‘Will have more to say when we’re ready but I wanted to tell everyone how much your support has meant to all of us! #JamesGang.’

Both Bronny and Bryce are highly rated young basketball players in their own right and LeBron has been an active supporter of his two sons’ basketball dreams – even using his off days during the Los Angeles Lakers’ season to fly several hours to attend their games.

Bronny’s 16-year-old brother, Bryce, posted a photo of the two on his Instagram story, along with a heart. Bryce James is also a top basketball prospect who already has received Division I scholarship offers.

LeBron James has repeatedly said that he even hopes to play in the NBA with Bronny, who couldn’t join the league until the fall of 2024 at the earliest. 

LeBron would be entering his 22nd NBA season at that point – matching Vince Carter for the longest career in league history – with his 40th birthday looming in December 2024.

‘My last year will be played with my son,’ James said. ‘Wherever Bronny is at, that´s where I´ll be. I would do whatever it takes to play with my son for one year.’
