LeBron James was seen arriving at Cedars-Sinai hospital in Los Angeles on Monday after his 18-year-old son, Bronny James, suffered a cardiac arrest.
In photos exclusively obtained by Pvnew, the Lakers superstar can be seen walking into the hospital wearing gray sweatshorts and a white graphic T-shirt.
The 38-year-old, wearing a baseball hat and face mask, was carrying a small circular bag and an iPad.
LeBron, who arrived to the hospital in a black SUV, held up a peace sign for photographers as he ducked into the building alongside one of his friends.
This is the first time that the NBA star has been spotted since his eldest son was rushed to the hospital after going into cardiac arrest during basketball practice at the University of Southern California on Monday.
A spokesperson for the James family told Pvnew that the student-athlete has since been released to general care.
“Yesterday while practicing Bronny James suffered a cardiac arrest. Medical staff was able to treat Bronny and take him to the hospital. He is now in stable condition and no longer in ICU,” the rep’s statement began.
“We ask for respect and privacy for the James family, and we will update media when there is more information.”
The statement concluded with LeBron and his wife, Savannah James, thanking USC medical and athletic staff for their “incredible work and dedication” to ensuring athlete safety.
According to the American Heart Association, cardiac arrest occurs when the heart “malfunctions and stops beating unexpectedly.” This differs from a heart attack, which happens when blood flow to the organ is blocked.
Since news of the incident, several sports superstars and celebrities have sent their well-wishes to the family.
