Concern weighed heavily on basketball luminary Vlade Divac
Title: Vlade Divac's Motorcycle Mishap: A Rough Ride Towards Recovery
Get the latest scoop on the legendary center's medical turbulence!
The hulking figure of ex-NBA star Vlade Divac has hit a speed bump - or rather, a pothole on his motorcycle - in Montenegro. At 57 years old and standing tall at 7 feet 1 inch, Divac isn't used to being laid low. But that's exactly what happened when he crashed his bike on the Adriatic coast, leading to a fractured hip and a hospital visit.
Ouch!
But fear not, basketball fans. The 7-foot-giant received prompt attention, having to undergo an emergency hip replacement surgery. The doctors in Risan have shared that Divac is currently holding his own, maintaining a stable general and physical condition, while receiving close medical attention.
His recovery, the doctors say, is on track, just like a well-oiled machine on a smooth highway. By following a typical six-week rehabilitation regimen, Divac is eying a return to his usual activities, maybe even that motorcycle again.
For those playing at home, Vlade Divac made a name for himself as one of Europe's first basketball superstars. He brought home silver from the 1988 Olympics with Yugoslavia and again in 2006 with Serbia and Montenegro, adding two world championships to his list of accolades. Playing for a total of 16 seasons in the NBA for the Los Angeles Lakers, Charlotte Hornets, and Sacramento Kings, Divac has certainly left his mark on basketball history.
