Bronny James, the eldest son of Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James, suffered a cardiac arrest Monday and is in stable condition.
“Yesterday while practicing Bronny James suffered a cardiac arrest,” a James family spokesperson said in a statement. “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.”
Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin, who has resumed his career after suffering cardiac arrest during a Monday Night Football game last season, tweeted his support for James.
Prayers to Bronny & The James family as well. 🙏🏽 here for you guys just like you have been for me my entire process.
