Bronny James, LeBron James' 18-year-old son, is back in action just five days after suffering a cardiac arrest.

LeBron took to Instagram on Saturday to share a video of Bronny playing the piano while recuperating at home. In the clip, Bronny is surrounded by his siblings Zhuri, 8, and Bryce, 16.

The post's caption reads: "GRAND RISING!! God Is Great! @bronny YOU ARE AMAZING!!! Simple as that! Keep going Young !!! We're here right with you every step of the way!"

"Man of many talents," LeBron can be heard saying in the background of the video.

On Monday, LeBron's eldest son was hospitalized after he went into cardiac arrest during basketball practice at the University of Southern California.

"Thanks to the swift and effective response by the USC athletics' medical staff, Bronny James was successfully treated for a sudden cardiac arrest," a family spokesperson told Insider in a statement.

"Although his workup will be ongoing, we are hopeful for his continued progress and are encouraged by his response, resilience, and his family and community support," the statement continued.

According to the Mayo Clinic, a sudden cardiac arrest is "the sudden loss of all heart activity due to an irregular heart rhythm."

Per the Los Angeles Times, Bronny lost consciousness during a workout on Monday morning. The USC freshman was taken "Code 3, lights and sirens" to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, the outlet reported. By Tuesday, he was in stable condition and out of the ICU, per the outlet.

Bronny was seen out and about for the first time on Friday since his hospitalization, according to the Daily Mail. The outlet reported that he had dinner with dad LeBron, mom Savannah James, and his siblings at the Italian restaurant Giorgio Baldi in Santa Monica, California.

The incident marks the second time in a little over a year that a USC freshman basketball player has suffered a cardiac arrest while practicing, The Los Angeles Times reported.

In July 2022, Vince Iwuchukwu's heart stopped beating during practice. Iwuchukwu was taken to the hospital and returned to the court six months later.
