Kareem Abdul-Jabbar Hospitalized With Broken Hip After Suffering Fall at Concert

NBA legend Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was taken to a hospital after suffering a broken hip at a concert in Los Angeles on Friday night.

Abdul-Jabbar’s representative, Deborah Morales, told TMZ Sports that the former Lakers and Bucks center shattered his hip due to an accidental fall.

It remains unclear which concert Abdul-Jabbar attended. The Naismith Basketball Hall of Famer was immediately transported to UCLA’s hospital following the incident. Morales said Abdul-Jabbar is “deeply appreciative” of the Los Angeles Fire Department and UCLA hospital’s medical team for their help and support.
