LeBron James shared an update on his son Bronny James’ medical condition, and everyone is feeling so much better about the scary incident that happened Monday morning. The 18-year-old was hospitalized after going into cardiac arrest during a basketball workout at the University of Southern California’s arena.


“I want to thank the countless people sending my family love and prayers,” the Los Angeles Lakers star tweeted. “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!”

Followers breathed a collective sigh of relief following that reassuring update. On Monday, Bronny was in the intensive care unit, but the family released a statement the following day saying that he was thankfully in stable condition.


“We ask for respect and privacy for the James family and we will update media when there is more information,” a spokesman for the James family said in a statement. “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 has been an outpouring of love and support for the James family, especially from the athletic community. Damar Hamlin of the Buffalo Bills — who was also hospitalized after suffering a cardiac arrest during a football game in the fall — tweeted with the praying hands emoji saying, “Prayers to Bronny & The James family as well here for you guys just like you have been for me my entire process.”


“Good Lord. Just heard about Bronny. Hearing he’s okay. Thank God! Prayers up to [LeBron] and the entire family,” said sports broadcaster Stephen A. Smith.


The 18-year-old takes after his father and was a four-star recruit, committing to USC in May after a stellar senior-year season. He is ranked 20th in the 2023 ESPN 100 rankings and is the sixth-rated point guard in the class of 2023.
