Bronny was working out with his team when he went into cardiac arrest.
An ambulance was called to USC's Galen Center when someone there made a 911 call, TMZ reported. A source said Bronny was unconscious when the ambulance arrived, and it was dubbed a Code 3 emergency, which means he was taken to the hospital with lights and sirens going.
Bronny is already out of the ICU and in 'stable condition.'
A rep for the family issued a statement to TMZ, claiming that Bronny is no longer in the ICU.
"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 statement explained. "We ask for respect and privacy for the James family and we will update media when there is more information."
LeBron and his wife are thanking fans for their support.
"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," the statement shared.
We can't imagine how scary this must have been for them both as Bronny's parents.

Bronny committed to playing for USC in May.
This year, the 18-year-old is a college freshman after graduating in the spring from Sierra Canyon High School. In May, LeBron shared the exciting news that his son had signed his letter of intent with USC, and Bronny has been gearing up to play with the Trojans.
Our thoughts are with LeBron's family at this time.
This story is still developing, and LeBron has yet to address the public directly on the situation — via social media or otherwise.
Fingers crossed that another update is coming soon. Here's hoping that Bronny will have a smooth and speedy recovery after this scary incident.
