Bronny James, the eldest son of NBA superstar LeBron James of the Los Angeles Lakers, experienced a heart attack while practicing at USC. However, he is now in stable condition and has been moved out of intensive care, according to a spokesperson for the James family.
At 18 years old, Bronny James, who is set to join the USC basketball team as a freshman, collapsed during a practice session at USC’s Galen Center. He was immediately rushed to a hospital, where he was initially placed in the ICU for observation and treatment.
According to a statement from a family representative, “During yesterday’s practice, Bronny James suffered a cardiac arrest, but he received prompt medical attention and was subsequently taken to the hospital. Currently, he is in stable condition and has been transferred out of the ICU. We kindly request privacy and respect for the James family during this time, and we will provide updates to the media as more information becomes available.”
The statement also includes a special thank you from LeBron and Savannah to the USC medical and athletic staff for their remarkable efforts and commitment to their athletes’ safety.
Bronny James, who stands at 6 feet 3 inches tall and previously played for Sierra Canyon High School in Chatsworth, is highly regarded as one of the most promising freshman college players in the nation. CBS ranks him as the 27th recruit in the Class of 2023. He is also projected to be a lottery pick in the 2024 NBA draft.
LeBron James has expressed his desire to continue his NBA career long enough to have the opportunity to play alongside his son.
In a similar incident, USC center Vince Iwuchukwu suffered a heart attack during a basketball practice last summer but was successfully revived by the team’s training staff. He made a full recovery and returned to the team.
Damar Hamlin, a safety for the Buffalo Bills who experienced on-field cardiac arrest during a nationally televised Monday Night Football game in January, expressed his support for Bronny James and his family on Twitter. He wrote, “Prayers to Bronny & the James family as well. Here for you guys just like you have been for me throughout my own journey.”
