USC men’s basketball player Bronny James collapsed during a practice session this week as a result of cardiac arrest. The son of NBA Superstar LeBron James had no previous symptoms

The incident took place at USC’s Galen Center where the program’s medical staff was able to help James before he was taken to Cedars-Sinai Hospital and placed in the intensive care unit (ICU).

“He is now in stable condition and no longer in ICU,” the James family spokesperson said Tuesday morning. “We ask for respect and privacy for the James family and we will update media when there is more information.”

James, a McDonald’s All-American from Sierra Canyon school and the eldest son of Lakers star LeBron James, is preparing for his freshman season with the Trojans. LeBron James said that his son’s enrollment in college was one of the best days of his life as Bronny became the first in the family to attend college. Bronny’s future as a player was uncertain after Monday’s collapse.

“Bronny is a truly exceptional young man,” Sierra Canyon Head of School Jim Skrumbis told the L.A. Daily News. “We are all grateful for the medical professionals at USC who provided immediate attention he needed. Sierra Canyon community wishes him well on his journey to recovery.”
