Everyone has been showing a lot of love to LeBron James’ son Bronny following news about his cardiac arrest.
As we previously reported, the 18-year-old University of Southern California student-athlete who is the eldest son of the NBA legend was taken to a hospital Monday after suffering from cardiac arrest during a workout. The young basketball star was transported to the hospital in an ambulance from USC’s Galen Center around 9:26 a.m., according to TMZ, and his condition was said to be a Code 3 at the time.
The news was confirmed by a rep for the family on Monday which stated that Bronny was in stable condition after being released from ICU.
“We ask for respect and privacy for the James family, and we will update media when there is more information,” the statement read. “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.”
On Tuesday afternoon, Bronny’s younger brother Bryce Maximus took to social media to join a bunch of sports fans and close celebrity friends who have been showering his brother with love. He posted a photo of the two alongside a red heart as he begins his recovery journey.

As the Los Angeles Times notes, the Trojans’ athletic trainers have had dealt with comparable medical emergencies in the past. Last summer, Vince Iwuchukwu collapsed during his freshman year at practice and was revived on-site by USC trainers using an automated external defibrillator. Initially, Iwuchukwu was l told that he would never play basketball again. Despite that, the player made a full recovery and returned to the basketball court six months later.
