LOS ANGELES -- Kareem Abdul-Jabbar is recovering from surgery for a broken hip after he fell at a concert in Los Angeles.

The NBA Hall of Famer had surgery Sunday "with no complications," his business partner and spokeswoman, Deborah Morales, told The Associated Press on Monday.

"He will be in recovery for the next three months," she wrote via text.

Abdul-Jabbar, 76, was attending a show Friday night when he was injured. Paramedics at the undisclosed venue responded, and Abdul-Jabbar was taken to Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center.
