Bronny James, the son of LeBron James, experienced a cardiac arrest during a basketball workout at USC, according to a report from TMZ. The 18-year-old was taken to the hospital after the incident but is now in stable condition and no longer in the ICU. USC’s medical and athletic staff have been praised by LeBron and Savannah for their dedication to their athletes’ safety.
Bronny, who recently committed to USC, will wear No. 6 for the Trojans, following in his father’s footsteps. LeBron James is known for wearing the No. 6 during his successful career with the Lakers and Heat. This year, LeBron became the all-time leading points scorer in NBA history.
LeBron has expressed his desire to continue playing in the NBA until Bronny can join him in the league. He envisions a scenario similar to Ken Griffey Sr. and Jr. playing together. LeBron is currently under contract for two more years with the Lakers, while Bronny could enter the NBA in the 2024 Draft after his season at USC.
It was previously reported that LeBron might require surgery for a torn tendon in his foot, but it is expected that he will recover in time for the new season.
