Abdul-Jabbar, who is 76 years old, fell while he was in attendance at a concert in Los Angeles on December 15, according to TMZ.

The retired star center apparently shattered his hip and was immediately rushed to the UCLA Hospital after receiving initial care from paramedics.

His representative, Deborah Morales, implied that Abdul-Jabbar thankfully did not sustain any serious injuries.

The center had a very illustrious career at the NBA, becoming champion 6 times, becoming MVP 6 times among many other accolades, such as being the Finals MVP twice and making it to the All-Star 10 times.

He was named to the NBA Anniversary Teams thrice (35th, 50th, and 75th), and his jersey was retired both by the Milwaukee Bucks and the Los Angeles Lakers.

Abdul-Jabbar had career averages of 24.6 points, 11.2 rebounds, and 2.6 blocks per game in the NBA regular seasons.
