Horrifying news was broken on Tuesday morning.
Per a statement via Shams Charania (see below), Bronny James suffered a cardiac arrest while practicing at USC.
“He is now in stable condition and no longer in ICU,” it read in part. “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.”
There’s no other information beyond that. The freshman joined USC in May after weighing a decision on where to play in the fall.
NBA players and others sent prayers on Twitter after the news dropped:
