The son of former US basketball star LeBron James has been discharged from a US hospital and is resting at home three days after he went into cardiac arrest.

Dr Merije Chukumerije, a cardiologist for Bronny James, said the 18-year-old was “successfully treated for a sudden cardiac arrest” thanks to “the swift and effective response by the USC athletics’ medical staff” after the incident on Monday at the University of Southern California’s Galen Centre, where James was participating in basketball practice.
