The 76-year-old former basketball center experienced a fall during a Friday night concert, resulting in a broken hip, according to Deborah Morales.
Expressing gratitude for the support received, Morales acknowledged the Los Angeles Fire Department for their assistance at the scene. Abdul-Jabbar was swiftly transported to a Los Angeles hospital, where he is currently under the care of the exceptional medical team and doctors at UCLA Hospital.
