LeBron James’ son Bronny, 18, rushed to hospital after suffering cardiac arrest during USC workout
LEBRON JAMES’ son Bronny has been rushed to the hospital after suffering a horrific cardiac arrest.
The 18-year-old was doing a basketball workout at USC when the incident happened.
He was taken to a nearby hospital and straight into an intensive care unit on Monday.
The teenager has since been removed from the ICU and is in stable condition.
A James family spokesperson told TMZ Sports: “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.
“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.”
It is understood a 911 call was made at 9.26am on Monday from USC’s Galen Center, according to TMZ.
That is the venue the team plays and practices at.
Bronny was said to be unconscious and received treatment at the scene.
He was taken by ambulance to the hospital.
Bronny committed to the Trojans earlier this year.
The incident would have happened in one of his first practices with the team.
The college season does not start until the beginning of November.
He is widely expected to end up in the NBA, and was tipped to be in the Draft next year.
LeBron has spoken about wanting to play alongside his son in the future.
They would be the first father-and-son duo to play together in the NBA.
