Bronny James is back home after his medical emergency.
The 18-year-old athlete and son of LeBron James was discharged from Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles on Thursday (July 27), and is now resting at home after suffering a cardiac arrest earlier this week.
“Thanks to the swift and effective response by the USC athletics’ medical staff, Bronny James was successfully treated for a sudden cardiac arrest,” Dr. Merije Chukumerije, Bronny‘s consulting cardiologist, shared in a statement.
“He arrived at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center fully conscious, neurologically intact and stable,” Dr. Chukumerije continued. “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.”
Bronny, who is a rising basketball star himself, was at a practice at USC’s Galen Center when he suffered the medical emergency. Paramedics were called, and quickly rushed him to the hospital.
LeBron also recently shared a statement after Bronny‘s cardiac arrest.
