Bronny James Discharged from Hospital After Cardiac Arrest: ‘We Are Encouraged by His Response’

Bronny James, the eldest son of NBA star LeBron James, has been discharged from Cedars-Sinai Medical Center.

The college athlete was undergoing treatment after going into cardiac arrest during basketball practice at the University of Southern California on Monday. After a representative for the James family confirmed to PEOPLE was in stable condition and “no longer” in the ICU on Tuesday, the medical center released a statement indicating that the 18-year-old is now in recovery.

“Thanks to the swift and effective response by the USC athletics’ medical staff, Bronny James was successfully treated for a sudden cardiac arrest,” a statement shared on the center’s website reads. “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.”
