Following a cardiac arrest episode during basketball practice, Bronny James has been released from Cedars-Sinai Medical Center. A statement from Dr. Merije Chukumerije, a cardiovascular specialist at the hospital, confirmed that the swift actions of USC's medical team were crucial to Bronny's successful treatment. Upon arrival at the hospital, Bronny was conscious, neurologically sound, and in stable condition.
The statement further indicated that Bronny is now home resting and while medical evaluations will continue, the outlook is positive given his resilience and the support he's receiving from family and the community. This news comes just days after the initial announcement of his cardiac arrest and follows a heartfelt message from LeBron James expressing gratitude for the outpouring of support.
LeBron had previously taken to social media to thank everyone for their prayers and well wishes, emphasizing the family's unity and good health. Bronny, a highly-ranked basketball prospect who recently committed to USC, is eligible for the 2024 NBA draft, a milestone that LeBron has expressed a desire to share with his son on the court.
Bronny's high school basketball career at Sierra Canyon saw the team achieve considerable success. He averaged impressive stats throughout his senior year, solidifying his position as a rising star in the sport.
