Bryce James, the younger son of NBA superstar LeBron James, has shared a heartwarming post following the sad and shocking development involving his older brother Bronny.
The sports world was rocked following reports on Tuesday that revealed Bronny collapsed during practice at USC due to cardiac arrest the previous day and had to be rushed to hospital.
Bronny is looking forward to his freshman year with the Trojans ahead of what could be an NBA career. However, the incident has thrown such prospects to the back seat.
Tributes and well wishes have been flooding social media since the news broke on Tuesday, including a post from Bryce, who was Bronny’s Sierra Canyon and AAU teammate.
The younger James brother posted a photo of himself and Bronny standing next to each other with a heart emoji in the middle.

There isn’t much out there on what happened, but a spokesperson for the James family has released a statement.
“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. We ask for respect and privacy for the James family and we will update media when there is more information,” it reads.
“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.”
