Former Sacramento Kings player, general manager and current advisor to the governor, Vlade Divac was hospitalized on Thursday after falling from a motorcycle and breaking his hip, doctors said Friday.

The 57 year old former center was in Montenegro on Thursday when the accident occurred, and after being rushed to a local hospital, it was discovered that Divac had fractured his hip – a fracture bad enough that doctors felt it necessary to replace the hip.

According an interview given to Associated Press by a spokesperson of the hospital Divac is staying in, “During the day, a surgical procedure was performed. He is in a stable general and physical condition and is under a careful supervision of the medical staff.”

Here’s hoping that the Vladfather makes a quick recovery!

Hope he recovers well and stays in Europe far away from anything Kings related.

Oh damn. For a man of his size and age, a busted hip and replacement is no walk in the park. Here’s to a quick recovery and full mobility for the big guy. Get well, Vlade!

I’m going to avoid the snark this one time and wish him a full and speedy recovery.
