Bronny, his 18-year-old son, is being treated at the hospital by LeBron James after suffering a heart arrest on Monday.
On Monday morning, Bronny fell ill during practice and was taken from USC’s Galen Center to the hospital.
He has been discharged from intensive care and is in stable condition. James, 38, was seen wearing a mask when he entered the Cedars Sinai hospital in Los Angeles on Tuesday night.
James is reportedly’scared and distraught’ by the shocking news, according to a Tuesday morning article from DailyMail.Com.

A 911 call was received at 9.26am on Monday, and Bronny, who had just committed to the Trojans, was taken directly to the hospital in an ambulance.
It is assumed that the incident was a Code 3, which denotes the gravity of the call and necessitates ambulance lights and sirens.
The James family released the following statement on Tuesday: “Bronny James experienced a heart arrest yesterday while practicing. Bronny was able to receive medical attention and be transported to the hospital. He is presently stable and out of the intensive care unit.
“We ask for privacy and respect for the James family, and we will inform the media when more information becomes available.
LeBron and Savannah would like to publicly express their gratitude to the USC medical and athletic team for all of their hard work and commitment to the safety of their athletes.
On Tuesday, Bronny received well wishes from Damar Hamlin, the Buffalo Bills safety who experienced an on-field cardiac collapse during an NFL game.
Hamlin tweeted with a praying emoji, “Prayers to Bronny & The James family as well.” Just as you have been for me throughout my path, I’m here for you guys.
Hamlin, 25, needed to be revived after going into cardiac arrest on January 2 while playing for the Buffalo Bills against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 17.
The NFL safety has miraculously recovered and has been given the all-clear to resume his profession.

LeBron has already spoken openly about his desire to join Bronny in the NBA.
The Lakers player broke the record for most points scored in NBA history this year.
James stated earlier this year, “I need to be on the floor with my boy, I got to be on the floor with Bronny.”
“Either in a matchup with him or wearing the same uniform…” However, I would want to participate in the full Ken Griffey Sr. and Jr. affair. Definitely, that would be fantastic.
However, when speaking in May, James seemed to lower expectations by appearing to change his tone when talking about playing with his son.
My son is going to take his path, I’ve done what I had to do in this league,” he remarked.
And he will act in his best interests no matter where his trip takes him or how it is structured. And as his parents, Savannah, his brother and sister, as well as his father, we’ll support him in whatever he chooses to do.
The fact that it is my desire or objective does not necessarily imply that it is his. And that’s totally fine with me.”
Cardiologists have already expressed concern that Bronny’s career, which was just getting started after graduating from high school, may already be ended.
“If they find something that puts him at a high risk for sudden death then that… may make or break his career,” said Dr. Christopher Tanayan to DailyMail.com.
