This week has been rough on Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James and his family, with a scary and unexpected incident happening on the basketball floor.
Bronny James, who recently committed to the University of Southern California, collapsed due to a cardiac arrest this week while going through practice with his USC teammates in Los Angeles.
The James family’s outing comes one day after Bronny was discharged from the hospital following his recent health scare.
“Thanks to the swift and effective response by the USC athletics’ medical staff, Bronny James was successfully treated for a sudden cardiac arrest,” Dr. Merije Chukumerije, a cardiologist who worked on Bronny’s case, said in a Thursday, July 27, statement. “He arrived at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center fully conscious, neurologically intact and stable. Mr. James was cared for promptly by highly-trained staff and has been discharged home, where he is resting. Although his workup will be ongoing, we are hopeful for his continued progress and are encouraged by his response, resilience, and his family and community support.”
