Bronny James and the rest of his family went out for dinner in LA on July 28. The family hit up Giorgio Baldi in Santa Monica, marking the first public appearance of Bronny since he suffered a cardiac arrest on July 24. Bronny collapsed while training at USC and was rushed to the hospital. After being moved out of the ICU after less than a day, Bronny was discharged from Cedars Sinai on July 27. “Although his workup will be ongoing, we are hopeful for his continued progress and are encouraged by his response, resilience, and his family and community support,” said Merije Chukumerije, a doctor with the Cedars Sinai Medical Group. Furthermore, Chukumerije said that James arrived at the hospital “fully conscious, neurologically intact and stable.”
The news of Bronny’s discharge came hours after LeBron James made his first public statement following his son’s collapse. “I want to thank the countless people sending my family love and prayers. We feel you and I’m so grateful. Everyone doing great. We have our family together, safe and healthy, and we feel your love. Will have more to say when we’re ready but I wanted to tell everyone how much your support has meant to all of us! #JamesGang👑,” LeBron wrote on X. Now LeBron is sharing more from his son as he continues to recover.

"GRAND RISING!! God Is Great! @bronny YOU ARE AMAZING!!! Simple as that! Keep going Young 🤴🏾!!! We’re here right with you every step of the way! 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾✨✨✨✨ #JamesGang👑," LeBron wrote on Instagram to accompany a video of Bronny playing the piano. Hilariously, after he finishes playing, his brother Bryce can heard saying, "I can do that too."
At this time, the cause of Bronny’s cardiac arrest has not been revealed to the public. As reported by Dr. Chukumerije, his medical team is still looking into what caused the 18-year-old to suffer such a serious medical issue. A wave of unsubstantiated theories have since surfaced as the internet demands answers. Elon Musk and Chael Sonnon both garnered outrage through unsubstantiated speculation. Musk used the incident to push an anti-vax conspiracy theory linking the COVID-19 vaccine to increased risks of myocarditis in young men. Meanwhile, Sonnen claimed that it was a result of Bronny using steroids. Additionally, a respected cardiologist suggested that James could be suffering from a career-ending congenital condition.
