Kareem Abdul-Jabbar<\/strong> is clearly recovering nicely after breaking his hip during a nasty fall last week — ’cause he’s now firing off jokes about the situation, calling himself “Humpty Kareem!”<\/p>\n

The NBA legend shared an update on his status on his Substack page<\/strong> on Monday … revealing he was actually on his way to delivering a speech at The Manhattan Transfer’s concert on Friday at Disney Hall in Los Angeles when the spill happened.<\/p>\n

“I’d like to say I fell while trying to save a child from plunging over a balcony,” he wrote, “but I just tripped.”<\/p>\n

“Hard for me to accept that a once world-class athlete just stumbled. But age is the great equalizer and humbles us all.”<\/p>\n

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar Hospitalized After Falling and Breaking His Hip <\/h4>\n

The 76-year-old, though, shared a snap of him in a hospital bed with a huge grin — appearing to show that his rehab is moving smoothly.<\/p>\n

Abdul-Jabbar also thanked all the first responders who cared for him after he went down … and he vowed to be up and at ’em again shortly.<\/p>\n

“All my best to you from my hospital bed,” he wrote. “Me and my new hip will be dancing to [The Manhattan Transfer’s] tunes again.”<\/p>\n

“Well,” he continued, “gently swaying.”<\/p>\n

Get well soon, Kareem!!<\/p>\n
