Report: Bill Russell hospitalized with heart and breathing issues
NBA icon Bill Russell has reportedly been hospitalized.
According to TMZ, Russell was rushed to the hospital on Friday night and was suffering from heart problems and shortness of breath. The 84-year-old is still in the hospital, and no update was readily available on his current condition.
There had been no indication that Russell was in ill health, having just attended Game 1 of the Boston Celtics-Philadelphia 76ers Eastern Conference semifinals on April 30. He also still actively weighs in on matters relating to the NBA and the Celtics.
Russell is an NBA icon, not just a Celtics legend. Here’s hoping everything checks out alright, his condition isn’t serious, and he makes a quick recovery from whatever the issues are.
