The incident occurred while the 18-year-old was participating in a USC practice, prompting an immediate rush to the hospital. Thankfully, Bronny’s condition has stabilized, and he is no longer in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU).
The alarming situation unfolded at USC’s Galen Center, the venue used for basketball team activities, where an emergency call was made at 9:26 am on Monday. Responding swiftly, medical personnel attended to Bronny and transported him to the hospital via ambulance with lights and sirens activated, indicating the seriousness of the situation.
A spokesperson for the James family provided an update to TMZ, confirming the cardiac arrest and expressing gratitude for the prompt and professional medical care provided by USC’s medical and athletic staff.

Bronny had recently committed to the Trojans, marking another significant step in his journey to follow in his father’s legendary footsteps. He will proudly wear the No. 6 jersey during his freshman year at USC, a number synonymous with LeBron James’ illustrious career with both the Los Angeles Lakers and the Miami Heat.
LeBron James, at 38 years old, reached another milestone in his remarkable NBA career, becoming the all-time leading points scorer in NBA history, surpassing Kareem Abdul-Jabbar’s impressive tally of 38,387 career points.
