Per TMZ’s sources, “a 911 call was made at 9:26 AM Monday from USC’s Galen Center for — the venue where the team plays and practices — and the 18-year-old hooper, who was unconscious, was taken by ambulance to the hospital.”
Bronny is a meteorically rising talent in his sport — he recently committed to the Trojans. He is one of the names expected to make the NBA in the future. Bronny was a McDonald’s All-American during his high school senior season.
With this, Bronny’s future remains unclear, especially after he was looked towards playing with his father in the NBA — a sentiment that James himself made very clear.
“My last year will be played with my son,” James said last year. “Wherever Bronny is at, that’s where I’ll be. I would do whatever it takes to play with my son for one year. It’s not about the money at that point.”
Multiple players and well-wishers sent their recovery prayers to the young star, including NFL star Damar Hamlin who made a miraculous recovery after suffering a cardiac arrest last season.
“Prayers to Bronny & The James family as well. here for you guys just like you have been for me my entire process,” he wrote.
