All reports and indications point toward the positive as of Tuesday, with Bronny being removed from the ICU. But the NBA waits with patience for another positive update regarding his health.

Athletes often stand together during the most difficult times. And it appears the entire sports world is rallying around the James family to offer support for Bronny.
Bronny in stable condition
Bronny was reportedly removed from the intensive care unit on Tuesday morning and is in stable condition as he begins the recovery process from cardiac arrest. There remains no other public information, as the James family would undoubtedly like to keep things as private as possible.
But fans are hoping for not only a return to the court from the young USC star, but more importantly, a full recovery and a return to normal life for an 18-year-old kid.
