"LeBron and Savannah wish to publicly send their deepest thanks and appreciation to the USC medical and athletic staff for their incredible work and dedication to the safety of their athletes.”
NBC Los Angeles confirmed with a source that James suffered a medical emergency Monday.
The Los Angeles Fire Department said the agency received a medical response call at about 9:30 a.m. and responded to the 3400 block of South Figueroa Street and transported an adult male.
James, 18, is set to begin his freshman year at USC this fall. He attended nearby Sierra Canyon, being chosen as a McDonald's All-American after his senior season.
The 6-foot-3, 180-pound guard was the No. 20 ranked player in his recruiting class, according to ESPN. He had offers from Kentucky, Ohio State, Michigan, Memphis and Oregon before committing to USC in May.
LeBron James shared a message on Twitter on Thursday, thanking people for the love and prayers and saying that the James family is "together, safe and healthy."
