Bronny James, son of LeBron James, suffers cardiac arrest at USC basketball practice

Bronny James, son of NBA star LeBron James, was hospitalized after suffering a cardiac arrest during basketball practice at the University of Southern California, as reported by a family spokesperson.

The 18-year-old incoming freshman for USC’s basketball team is now in stable condition and out of the intensive care unit. The James family expresses their gratitude to the USC medical and athletic staff for their dedicated work in treating Bronny.

Bronny, a talented 6-foot-3 combo guard, was rated a four-star recruit and showcased his skills at the McDonald’s All-American Game earlier this year. He is following in his father’s footsteps, aiming to reach the NCAA Tournament with USC’s basketball team.

LeBron James, known for his successful NBA career, has expressed his desire to play alongside his son in the NBA. Bronny will be eligible to join the NBA next year.

Cardiac arrest during sports is rare but not unheard of, and it requires immediate treatment. USC’s medical staff has experience in dealing with such incidents, having successfully treated USC freshman forward Vince Iwuchukwu in a similar situation last year.

Prayers and support have poured in from the sports community, including NFL’s Damar Hamlin, as everyone rallies behind Bronny James and his family during this challenging time.
