All-time NBA icon Kareem Abdul-Jabbar is recovering after a scary incident this weekend.
TMZ Sports reported Saturday that Abdul-Jabbar has been hospitalized after suffering a broken hip in a fall on Friday night. Abdul-Jabbar’s rep, Deborah Morales, revealed that the basketball legend was attending a concert on Friday night and accidentally fell to the floor.
Morales adds that paramedics from the Los Angeles Fire Department quickly responded to the scene and transported Abdul-Jabbar to UCLA Hospital. Abdul-Jabbar was said to be “deeply appreciative” of the support and care he has received (though no update was given on his condition).
Now 76 years old, Abdul-Jabbar has continued to make appearances at big events. Earlier this month, he was spotted at a Los Angeles Rams game.
