Kareem Abdul-Jabbar breaks hip when he falls at concert in Los Angeles
View Date:2024-12-23 19:18:01
NBA legend Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was hospitalized after he suffered a broken hip when he fell at a concert in Los Angeles, his representative Deborah Morales said in a statement on social media.
The 76-year-old basketball Hall of Famer was transported to UCLA Hospital on Friday and is expected to undergo surgery on Saturday, according to Morales. No other details of his condition were released.
"We are all deeply appreciative of all the support for Kareem, especially from the Los Angeles Fire Department who assisted Kareem on site and the amazing medical team and doctors at UCLA Hospital who are taking great care of Kareem now," Morales said.
Abdul-Jabbar is considered one of the greatest basketball players of all-time, winning three national championship during his college career at UCLA and winning six NBA titles with the Los Angeles Lakers and Milwaukee Bucks in 20 seasons.
He is the only person to be named NBA MVP six times, and he was the league's career scoring leader for 39 years until LeBron James broke the record in February. Abdul-Jabbar still holds the record for field goals made (15,837) and minutes played (57,446) in the regular season.
