Bronny James released from Los Angeles hospital after cardiac arrest – live

Bronny James, the oldest son of Lebron James, has been released from hospital in Los Angeles several days after going into cardiac arrest.

Consulting cardiologist at Cedars-Sinai Medical Group, Dr Marije Chukumerije, told The Athletic in a statement that “Thanks to the swift and effective response by the USC athletics’ medical staff, Bronny James was successfully treated for a sudden cardiac arrest. 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.”

LeBron James and his wife, Savannah James, have been together for more than two decades and celebrated huge milestones.

The pair first met back in high school during the early ‘00s, before LeBron officially entered the NBA in 2003. Following his first year as a Cleveland Cavaliers player, he and Savannah had two children. Years later, they announced their engagement and later welcomed a third child.

Throughout their 20-year relationship, they’ve done philanthropic work together and supported each other’s individual careers.

“I am so proud of you,” she said. “I witness day in and day out the hard work, the sacrifice and the professionalism that you put into this game every day.”

Bronny collapsed on Monday while practicing at USC, where he is expected to play college basketball beginning next season.

The rising basketball star was rushed to the hospital, where he was treated and later released from an intensive care unit. He is now in stable condition.

While many fans of Bronny, his father, and of basketball in general poured out in support of the young man’s recovery, others took a more conspiratorial tone, co-opting his health condition in an effort to push their own agendas.

Here’s everything we know about Bronny James’ collapse and hospitalisation:

James was taken to hospital from his session at the University of Southern California (USC), where he has since been released from intensive care and is in a reportedly stable condition.

Buffalo Bills safety Hamlin suffered a similar incident in January when he suffered a cardiac arrest following a tackle in an NFL match against the Cincinnati Bengals. On that occasion he needed CPR on the field and was hospitalised for over a week before his release, while support was shown to him and his family from all sides of any sporting divides including from fans and fellow athletes.

Now Hamlin has turned to the supporting role to offer strength to the James family, as they deal with Bronny’s scare.

“Prayers to Bronny [and] The James family as well,” he sent on social media platform X, formerly Twitter. “Here for you guys just like you have been for me my entire process.”

“I want to thank the countless people sending my family love and prayers. We feel you and I’m so grateful,” the Los Angeles Lakers legend wrote in a social media post on Thursday.

“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!”

Bronny, 18, was hospitalised on Monday after suffering a heart complaint during a basketball practice session with his University of Southern California team.

We were all just reminded why Elon Musk’s ownership of Twitter, now rebranded X, is so poisonous to our discourse.

Son of basketball legend LeBron James, 18-year-old Bronny James, suffered from cardiac arrest during a basketball workout. He was rushed to the hospital and, as of Tuesday afternoon, is in a stable condition. As we’ve come to see so commonly with sports stars and conditions like this, anti-vaccine conspiracy theories surged on social media, especially Twitter. The owner of the site couldn’t help but to join in.

LeBron James’ son Bronny suffered cardiac arrest during his University of Southern California basketball practice and was rushed to the hospital, according to a statement released by the family’s spokesperson on Tuesday. The public statement confirmed Bronny was out of the ICU, stabilised, and in recovery.

Cardiac arrest is “the sudden loss of all heart activity due to an irregular heart rhythm,” and is also referred to as sudden cardiac arrest or sudden cardiac death, according to the Mayo Clinic. Cardiac arrest refers to when the heart stops completely, and the body no longer has blood or oxygen flow. If not treated immediately, the condition can lead to death.

When replying to a news story about how Lebron James’ son Bronny suffered from cardiac arrest, Elon Musk suggested the medical emergency could have been linked to the Covid-19 vaccine.

He tweeted, “We cannot ascribe everything to the vaccine, but, by the same token, we cannot ascribe nothing. Myocarditis is a known side-effect. The only question is whether it is rare or common.”

One day in late July, a promising young American basketball player suffered a rare cardiac arrest during practice at a major university.

The year was 1993, and the player was 27-year-old Reggie Lewis, then a shooting guard for the Boston Celtics NBA game. Lewis tragically did not survive, and his jersey number – 35 – was permanently retired.
