Dr Merije Chukumerije, a cardiologist for Bronny James, said the teenager was “successfully treated for a sudden cardiac arrest” thanks to “the swift and effective response by the USC athletics’ medical staff”.

“He arrived at Cedars-Sinai Medical Centre fully conscious, neurologically intact and stable. Mr James was cared for promptly by highly-trained staff and has been discharged home, where he is resting.”

He continued, “Although his work-up will be ongoing, we are hopeful for his continued progress and are encouraged by his response, resilience, and his family and community support.”

The update comes a day after former UFC fighter Chael Sonnen claimed Bronny James’ cardiac arrest was due to use of steroids.
