LeBron James has been pictured arriving at the hospital where his son Bronny, 18, is being treated after his cardiac arrest on Monday.
Bronny was taken ill at practice and was rushed to hospital from USC’s Galen Center on Monday morning.
He is in a stable condition and has been released from intensive care. James, 38, was pictured arriving at the Cedars Sinai hospital in Los Angeles on Tuesday evening, wearing a mask.
DailyMail.Com reported earlier on Tuesday that Lakers star James is ‘scared and devastated’ by the shock news.
Bronny, who recently committed to the Trojans, was rushed to hospital in an ambulance after a 911 call was made at 9.26am Monday.

LeBron has been public in the past about his dream of playing alongside Bronny in the NBA.
This season, the Lakers star became the all-time leading points score in NBA history.
‘I need to be on the floor with my boy, I got to be on the floor with Bronny,’ James said earlier this year.
‘Either in the same uniform or a matchup against him… But I would love to do the whole Ken Griffey Sr. and Jr. thing. That would be ideal for sure.’
But speaking in May, James appeared to cool his tone on playing with his son – seemingly to lower the sense of expectation around him.
‘I’ve done what I’ve had to do in this league, and my son is going to take his journey,’ he said.

‘And whatever his journey, however his journey lays out, he’s going to do what’s best for him. And as his dad, and his mom, Savannah, and his brother and sister, we’re going to support him in whatever he decides to do.
‘So, just because that’s my aspiration or my goal, doesn’t mean it’s his. And I’m absolutely OK with that.’
Now, cardiologists have warned that Bronny’s career – which was only just beginning following his high school graduation – could already be over.
Dr Christopher Tanayan told DailyMail.com: ‘If they find something that puts him at a high risk for sudden death then that … may make or break his career.’
