After suffering cardiac arrest on Monday during a workout at USC’s Galen Center, incoming Trojan freshman and potential 2024 first-round pick Bronny James has been discharged from Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, writes Jeff Borzello of ESPN.
“Thanks to the swift and effective response by the USC athletics’ medical staff, Bronny James was successfully treated for a sudden cardiac arrest,” Merije Chukumerije, the consulting cardiologist for James, said in a 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.”
NBA superstar LeBron James, Bronny’s father, sent out a tweet on Thursday indicating his son was home.
“I want to thank the countless people sending my family love and prayers,” LeBron wrote. “We feel you and I’m so grateful. Everyone doing great. We have our family together, safe and healthy, and we feel your love. Will have more to say when we’re ready but I wanted to tell everyone how much your support has meant to all of us!”
A family spokesperson told Shams Charania of The Athletic (via Twitter) that Bronny was released late Tuesday night, so he was in the hospital for less than 48 hours.
A report from TMZ early Wednesday morning indicated the James family was “relieved” and feeling “optimistic” about Bronny’s prognosis. That said, sources tell TMZ that more tests need to be run before doctors can determine why the young guard suffered the cardiac arrest.
Hopes ok
**Hope he’s doing OK… Crazy young to experience something like that
Why is this news?
Because he’s a potential 1st round pick in 2024?
Because his dad is one of the most famous people on the planet?
You are an awful human.
Lol read a book dude eat a vegetable
I’ve been in fire/ems for 17 years, way more common than people think. The fact that he’s discharged in 48 hours is amazing and is a very positive development. The ribs broken during a typical cardiac arrest usually keep people in the hospital/rehab a lot longer.
Nice post
Thanks for the insight
Get well Kid ……. lot of life ahead of you.
Hopefully he can make it lord knows it’s been a tough life
Bro… your disdain for his father’s success and wealth should not cause you to ignore the fact that a young man had a potentially serious health condition. It’s okay to separate the two and be thankful that this man survived. Be a better person.
Some of us don’t seem to able to draw the line. On disliking athletes and fame. And just being able to live a decent life. He’s a kid with his whole life in front of him. We all should be able to appreciate that.
As much as I dislike James I will not ever write something that your wrote.
The kid could have died, so let’s be a little respectful!
I fear a Reggie Lewis thing here. I hope LeBron and Bronny put the kid’s life ahead of basketball. Life’s too short.
keyontae johnson. 2nd round.
20 years of Lebron is enough. Hopefully his kid finds a different line of work.
