NBA star, LeBron James has been pictured arriving at the hospital where his son Bronny, 18, is being treated after he collapsed and suffered a cardiac arrest on Monday, July 24.
Bronny took ill at practice and was rushed to hospital from USC’s Galen Center on Monday morning. He is now in a stable condition and has been released from intensive care.
James, 38, was pictured arriving at the Cedars Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles on Tuesday evening, wearing a mask.
DailyMail reported earlier on Tuesday that Lakers star James is ‘scared and devastated’ by the shocking news.
Bronny, who recently committed to the Trojans, was rushed to hospital in an ambulance after a 911 call was made at 9.26am Monday.
The incident is believed to have been a Code 3, which signifies the seriousness of the call as it requires ambulance lights and sirens.
A spokesman for the James family said on Tuesday: ‘Yesterday while practicing Bronny James suffered a cardiac arrest. 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.’
Damar Hamlin, the Buffalo Bills safety who had an on-field cardiac arrest during an NFL game, led the well-wishes being sent to Bronny on Tuesday.
‘Prayers to Bronny & The James family as well,’ Hamlin tweeted alongside a praying emoji. ‘Here for you guys just like you have been for me my entire process.’
Hamlin, 25, suffered cardiac arrest on January 2 when he collapsed on the field during the Bills’ Week 17 game against the Cincinnati Bengals and had to be resuscitated.
The NFL safety has made a miraculous recovery and has been cleared to continue his career.
