His representative, Deborah Morales, told multiple outlets that he had been taken to a hospital.

It’s unknown what concert Abdul-Jabbar attended, but Morales said he would be undergoing surgery.

Abdul-Jabbar played 20 seasons with the Milwaukee Bucks and Los Angeles Lakers, becoming the NBA’s all-time leading scorer on April 5, 1984.
