Bronny, the 18-year-old son of basketball legend LeBron James, suffered cardiac arrest during a basketball workout at the University of Southern California (USC) on Monday, TMZ reported.
According to a statement from Bronny’s family spokesperson, he’s out of the intensive care unit and in stable condition.
“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 said.
“We ask for respect and privacy for the James family and we will update media when there is more information.
“LeBron and Savannah wish to publicly send their deepest thanks and appreciation to the USC medical and athletic staff for their incredible work and dedication to the safety of their athletes.”
According to reports, the 911 call was made around 9:30 the morning of July 24 after which Bronny, who was unconscious, was rushed via ambulance to the nearest hospital.
Sports figures from all over the country, as well as the world, sent their messages of support and wished the young star a complete recovery.
Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin, who suffered cardiac arrest during an NFL game last season and who has since been active in advocating for AED training and awareness which potentially saved his life, tweeted his support: “Prayers to Bronny & The James Family as well (prayer emoji) here for you guys just like you have been for me my entire process.”
We wish Bronny James a speedy recovery.
