His parents, LeBron and Savannah, are not concerned about his budding basketball career at this time. Their main focus is on supporting his health and well-being during this challenging period.

"If Bronny isn't able to ever play basketball again, so be it," a source close to the family told DailyMail.com. "But those decisions are a long way away."

The 18-year-old USC freshman was preparing for an exhibition tour in Greece and Croatia when the incident occurred at the Trojans' Galen Center. Fortunately, Bronny was immediately resuscitated, taken to a nearby hospital, and stabilized, and he has now been released from intensive care.

LeBron and his wife Savannah are encouraged by Bronny's progress and are solely focused on his immediate health.

DailyMail's source mentioned that this had been a nightmarish experience for the parents, and they are enduring considerable stress.

"Going through this has been very stressful. They just want the best for Bronny. They really can't believe that this happened and is happening," the source told DailyMail.com.

The positive aspect is that the doctors expect to uncover the cause of Bronny's heart issue at such a young age.

"One positive out of it all is that it is true that the doctors have eased everyone that Bronny is on the road to recovery, and they anticipate finding the problem that caused everything in the first place and completely fixing it," the source said.

"There is no rush that LeBron and Savannah have to get Bronny out of the hospital, they only want him to get the best care possible and receive all the tests he needs to see what the next stage of recovery will be," the source continued. "Bronny's health is all that matters in their world right now."
