O’Neal sparked concern last week when he posted a picture of himself from the hospital. But he revealed that he underwent a planned hip replacement surgery and was doing well in his recovery.

While the procedure is keeping him sidelined from his TNT analyst gig for the time being, O’Neal is already making good strides by walking around again. He also had another humorous post about his health a few days ago.
