Lakers star LeBron James thanked the public Thursday for its support of his family and oldest son, Bronny, who suffered a cardiac arrest during a practice Monday morning at USC's Galen Center.
James did not give a specific update on his son's condition, other than to say, "Everyone doing great."
"I want to thank the countless people sending my family love and prayers," James wrote on social media. "We feel you and I'm so grateful. 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! #JamesGang."
Bronny James, 18, an incoming freshman on the USC basketball team, collapsed during practice Monday and was taken by ambulance to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, where he was initially placed in intensive care. By Tuesday, the family issued a statement saying Bronny was in stable condition and had been moved out of the ICU.
"Yesterday (Monday) while practicing, Bronny James suffered a cardiac arrest," according to a statement from a James family representative. "Medical staff was able to treat Bronny and take him to the hospital. He is now in stable condition and no longer in ICU. We ask for respect and privacy for the James family and we will update media when there is more information."
The statement added, ``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."
Bronny James, a 6-foot-3 guard, played at Sierra Canyon High School in Chatsworth. He is considered one of the top freshman college players in the country, and a projected lottery pick in the 2024 NBA draft.
LeBron James has said he would like to remain in the NBA long enough to play alongside his son.
