El exjugador de la NBA Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, leyenda de los Milwaukee Bucks y de Los Ángeles Lakers, fue hospitalizado en Los Ángeles tras fracturarse la cadera por una caída mientras asistía a un concierto, según informa este sábado el medio estadounidense ‘TMZ’ citando a la representante del exdeportista, Deborah Morales.

Abdul-Jabbar, de 76 años, acudió a un concierto el viernes y, tras sufrir una caída, fue llevado con urgencia al hospital de UCLA donde los doctores le están cuidando, asegura la fuente citada.

El seis veces campeón de la NBA, una con los Bucks y cinco con los Lakers, manifestó “profundo agradecimiento” por la manera en la que está siendo atendido, dijo Morales.

Abdul-Jabbar es el segundo máximo anotador de la NBA (38.387 puntos) y su marca fue superada el pasado febrero por LeBron James, estrella de los Lakers.
