The Cleveland Cavaliers sent their best wishes to USC guard Bronny James after he suffered a cardiac arrest on Monday.
“Our thoughts and well wishes are with Bronny James and his entire family,” the Cavs wrote in a Tuesday tweet. “Get well soon.”
James suffered a cardiac arrest at a USC workout on Monday. He is in stable condition and no longer in the ICU, according to a release from a James family spokesperson.
“Yesterday while practicing, Bronny James suffered a cardiac arrest,” the statement read. “Medical staff was able to treat Bronny and take him to the hospital. He is now in stable condition and no longer in the 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.”
Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell showed his support for James in a Tuesday tweet.
“Praying for Bronny🙏🏾🙏🏾,” Mitchell wrote.
James committed to USC in May after spending four years at Sierra Canyon High School in Los Angeles, Calif. He held offers from Memphis and Ohio State, according to 247Sports. Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James took the time to congratulate his son after the Lakers defeated the Golden State Warriors in a 127-97 playoff win at Crypto.com Arena.
“First of all congratulations to my son on his next journey and picking a great university,” James said in a postgame press conference, via USA Today. “I’m proud of him. This is an incredible thing. Unless it was one of my great-grandmothers or great-grandfathers or someone way before my time, to my knowledge this is the first one out of the James Gang to go to college.”
