LeBron James Jr., the son of NBA star LeBron James, went into cardiac arrest while practicing in Los Angeles on Monday and was taken to the hospital for intensive care unit treatment, according to a statement from a spokesperson for LeBron James and his wife, Savannah. The younger James, known as Bronny, is now stable and is no longer in the ICU, according to the statement.
“LeBron and Savannah would like to publicly send their deepest thanks and appreciation to the USC athletic and medical staff for their incredible work and dedication to the safety of their athletes,” the statement said.
Bronny James, 18, will be a freshman at the University of Southern California this fall. He is the eldest of Lakers star LeBron James’ three children. Bronny James was a four-star recruit and chose USC over offers from Oregon and Ohio State.
After this season, Bronny James would be eligible for the NBA draft. LeBron James, who became the league’s all-time leading scorer last season, has often said that he would like to play on an NBA team with his son.
