LeBron James‘s son, Bronny, has suffered a cardiac arrest during a basketball workout, according to a report.
The son of the Lakers superstar was rushed to hospital after the incident happened during a USC workout, according to TMZ.
The 18-year-old is said to now be in stable condition and is no longer in the ICU.
Bronny, who recently committed to the Trojans, was taken by ambulance from USC’s Galen Center, the venue where the school’s basketball team plays and practices, after a 911 call reportedly 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.

‘Yesterday while practicing Bronny James suffered a cardiac arrest,’ a spokesperson for the James family told TMZ.
‘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.’
Bronny recently took another step on the path to following his father’s footsteps by choosing to wear his iconic No 6 at USC for his freshman year.
USC revealed the exciting news on their Twitter page, writing alongside a graphic: ‘FIRST LOOK: Bronny James will wear No. 6 for the Trojans.’
His father LeBron James, of course, is synonymous with the No 6 from his glittering career with both the Los Angeles Lakers and Miami Heat – although he has also worn No 23 before.
This year, the 38-year-old James became the leading points scorer in the all-time history of the NBA, overtaking Kareem Abdul-Jabbar’s tally of 38,387 career points.
