“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,” read an official statement shared by the James family.

"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," the statement added.

Bronny James suffered a health scare while training with his University of Southern California (USC) teammates on Monday (local timing). An emergency call was made immediately from USC’s training court -- the Galen Center. A report published by the New York Post claimed that the teenage star was unconscious before he was taken to the hospital.

Following the terrifying incident, Bronny James’ younger brother, Bryce, shared a heartfelt picture on Instagram. In the photo, James brothers can be seen walking side-by-side. Bryce also put a heart emoji on top of the image.

Bronny is about to enter his freshman year at the USC this season. He headed into USC as a four-star recruit having played at Sierra Canyon High School where Bronny and Bryce were teammates.

Legendary basketballer Magic Johnson wished for Bronny’s speedy recovery. Sending his best wishes to Bronny, the 12-time All-Star tweeted, “Cookie and I are praying for LeBron and Savannah’s son Bronny after hearing he suffered a cardiac arrest. We are praying and hoping he makes a full and speedy recovery.”

LeBron James had previously expressed that he would want to play in his last season in the NBA along with Bronny. When asked about his plans about playing with Bronny, the Los Angeles Lakers superstar responded by saying, “That's the plan! God willing.”
