LOS ANGELES — Bronny James, the highly touted USC freshman and son of Lakers star LeBron James, lost consciousness during a workout at the Galen Center on Monday and was treated for cardiac arrest. It is the second time a USC freshman basketball player suffered cardiac arrest while practicing in the last year. Vince Iwuchukwu returned to the court six months after his cardiac arrest on campus. Chen said the most likely cause of James’ cardiac arrest was genetic, though exceptions to that statistical likelihood exist. While waiting for updates, many throughout the sports world offered Bronny James and his family words of encouragement via social media.
