The 18-year-old son of NBA legend LeBron James suffered a cardiac arrest while practicing with the University of Southern California (USC) basketball team and was in stable condition, ESPN reported on Tuesday, citing a James family statement.

The statement said Bronny James was no longer in intensive care at a hospital where he was taken after suffering the cardiac arrest on Monday, ESPN reported.

Los Angeles Fire Department personnel had responded to a medical emergency call shortly before 9:30 a.m. Monday morning at the Galen Center, the team's home arena, an LAFD spokesperson said on Tuesday. An adult male was treated and taken to the hospital, according the spokesperson who declined to disclose the patient's identity or details about the medical emergency.

The family spokesperson could not be immediately reached for comment, nor could LeBron James' agent.

"We ask for respect and privacy for the James family and we will update media when there is more information," the statement said, according to ESPN.
