Basketball legend Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was hospitalized Friday night after falling and breaking his hip in Los Angeles.
The Basketball Hall of Famer, who is one of the NBA's highest all-time scorers, was attending a concert at the time, according to his longtime business partner, Deborah Morales.
"Kareem had an accidental fall and broke his hip," Morales said in a statement posted Saturday on Abdul-Jabbar's X feed, formerly Twitter. "He will have surgery today. 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."
