Bronny James, an incoming freshman for the men’s basketball team at the University of Southern California, suffered a cardiac arrest during practice on Monday and was hospitalized, according to a statement released Tuesday by a family representative. According to the report, James was stable after being removed from the intensive care unit.
Several months ago, James underwent a cardiac screening as part of a program for prospective NBA players, according to a source with knowledge of the matter.
The screening included a transthoracic echocardiogram, which examines blood flow through the heart and cardiac valves, and an electrocardiogram, which records the heart’s electrical activity, according to the source. Both examinations returned the expected results.
