Bronny James, the son of basketball superstar LeBron James, was hospitalized Monday after suffering a sudden cardiac arrest during an offseason workout at the University of Southern California (USC).
According to a statement released by the James family, Bronny was practicing with the USC Men's basketball team when the incident occurred. The 18-year-old is reported to be in stable condition and is receiving treatment at a local hospital.

The exact cause of Bronny's cardiac arrest is still under investigation, but doctors are reportedly optimistic about his recovery.
