Bronny James in Stable Condition After Suffering Cardiac Arrest During USC Practice

USC signee Bronny James suffered cardiac arrest during a practice session Monday.

His representatives said in a statement the 18-year-old, who's the son of Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James, was transported to a nearby hospital and remains in stable condition.

James has already built a national profile. A 2023 McDonald's All-American, he represented Team USA at the Nike Hoop Summit this past spring and helped the United States earn a 90-84 victory over a World Select squad.

The 6'3" playmaker was the No. 22 overall player and No. 5 combo guard in 247Sports' composite rankings for the 2023 class. He's part of an exciting freshman group at USC that includes Isaiah Collier, the No. 1 overall talent on the 247Sports composite list.

In his most recent 2024 NBA draft big board, Bleacher Report's Jonathan Wasserman listed James at 36th:

"James checks a coveted mix of boxes with translatable shooting and IQ for smart ball-moving and defensive anticipation. The question is whether he'll be a tough-enough creator and two-point scorer to offer more on-ball value. Regardless, there should be interest in his three-and-D package and intangibles, a combination that hints at a high floor. Given his consistent development at Sierra Canyon and his play at All-Star events, this year's bright spotlight doesn't seem likely to negatively affect him."

LeBron James has on numerous occasions expressed a desire to play on the same team as his son once he reaches the pro level.
