PITTSBURGH -- Bronny James is just beginning his college basketball career at USC but during a preseason workout this week, suffered an injury similar to what former Pitt Panthers and current Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin suffered earlier this year. 

James went into cardiac arrest and collapsed on the court before being taken to the hospital. A statement from his parents, LeBron and Savannah James, said he is in stable condition and out of the ICU. Hamlin posted on Twitter to say that he would be there for anything they needed. 

Hamlin went into cardiac arrest on the field of Paycor Stadium in Cincinnati, Ohio during the Bills-Bengals game played in January. He was given CPR on the field before being transported to the hospital. The game was called and never made up. 

He's since made a remarkable recovery and was back with the Bills this spring for OTAs as a full participant in practice. Hamlin is expected to play a significant role as a reserve defensive back again this year for Buffalo.
