Anthony Anderson Hospitalized After On-Set Action Injury

February 5, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Anthony Anderson has a bone to pick with a chair now following his recent hospitalization for an on-set injury while filming the action movie G20. Moreover, he got many scans and X-rays for the accident that occurred during a particularly hectic fight scene on the Cape Town, South Africa set. “I spent the night in the emergency room,” the entertainment figure and stand-up comic captioned an Instagram post of him on a gurney on Thursday (February 1). “Movie set fight gone wrong. Me against two goons and a chair! Guess who didn’t win! Who needs a stuntman? Me that’s who! I’m not as young as I used to be!”

Fortunately, it seems like Anthony Anderson recovered quickly, as he returned to the social media platform to swear revenge on his new enemy: a chair. “This is the chair that whooped my a** last night!” the storyteller wrote alongside a picture of the furniture. “Something about it is menacing! It sucker punched me in the kidneys and back with no mercy! When I got on set today it was grinning at me! Little does he know I got something for that a**! He gone learn today!”

“CT scan and X-rays showed nothing fractured or broken in my back just a deep contusion,” Anthony Anderson had assured in his previous gurney-bound IG post. “That chair will never be the same though! Bloodied and bowed but never broken!” As such, it’s at least heartening to hear that things went smoothly for him, as we’re sure that those injuries on an action set can be difficult to deal with. We’re sure that, slowly but surely, the Black-ish star will go back to relaying hilarious stories about co-stars and fellow celebrities like Tracee Ellis Ross as if nothing happened.

Meanwhile, that perseverance to entertain and stay happy amid all that is a true testament. It also reminded us that he has some great things on the way which we should all be excited for. We wonder if previous takes on Ye as president would still hold up today in a post-recovery stand-up set. To find out, log back into HNHH for more news on Anthony Anderson.

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar Hospitalized After Shattering Hip At Concert

December 16, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar recently stepped out for a concert in LA, but unfortunately, he ended up taking a pretty serious spill. The former NBA star reportedly shattered his hip after falling on the floor and was immediately rushed to a nearby hospital. It remains unclear what concert the 76-year-old was attending, but rep Deborah Morales has confirmed that the incident took place last night (December 15).

Once he arrived at the hospital, it was determined that he had a broken hip, but no further details of his condition are known at the time of writing. “We are all deeply appreciative of all the support for Kareem,” Morales says. “Especially from the Los Angeles Fire Department who assisted Kareem on site and the amazing medical team and doctors at UCLA Hospital who are taking great care of Kareem now.” While she didn’t give fans an update on his current condition, Morales’ statements lead them to believe he’s going to be okay.

The six-time MVP has dealt with some other health complications in the past, including chronic myeloid leukemia as well as prostate cancer, which he’s since beaten. He reflected on learning he had leukemia in 2008 after experiencing hot flashes during a 2018 interview with PEOPLE. He described feeling “very lucky” to be a survivor, detailing his treatment at the time.

“I feel fine, and I’m very fortunate to benefit from the medical research that enable the targeted drugs to deal with the types of leukemia that I possess,” he shared. “I’m very happy to be here and very happy to be participating.” He added that while there’s no real remission with leukemia, he does his best to make the most of his time. “I try to enjoy my life,” he explained. “I’m just trying to hang on here, and every day is blessing.” What do you think of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar’s recent incident?

UConn Star Azzi Fudd Out For The Season

November 22, 2023 by newhiphopnews

UConn has announced that junior Azzi Fudd will miss the rest of the season with a torn ACL. According to the school, Fudd suffered a non-contact injury during practice last week. She watched the #6 Huskies beat Maryland and Minnesota from the bench before the extent of her injury was announced. Fudd, the #1 recruit of the 2021 class, has been plagued with injuries across her first three years of college ball.

“We’re all just so upset for Azzi. She worked hard to be healthy for this season, and it’s unfortunate when you put in a lot of hard work and have a setback like this. Azzi loves the game and works tirelessly. I’m confident she’ll rehab with the same work ethic and come back better than ever. We’ll obviously miss her presence on the court, but Azzi will continue to be a great teammate and important part of this team this season. Our program will support Azzi through her recovery however we can,” head coach Geno Auriemma said in a statement.

UConn To Persevere Without Fudd

NEWS: Azzi Fudd will miss the remainder of the 2023-24 season.

— UConn Women’s Basketball (@UConnWBB) November 22, 2023

Despite the injury, it’s business as usual in Storrs. “We’ve always handled [injuries] really, really, really well. We’ve always been pretty resilient. For us to win 31 games last year, given what we went through, they respond, they don’t pout. They really don’t. So when I said, ‘Hey, we’re just going to have to figure this one out,’ it changes your rotation obviously, it changes maybe the way you want to play. It certainly changes your offense,” Auriemma told reporters last week.

The Huskies are 3-1, having suffered a shocking loss to then-unranked NC State in their second game of the season. However, things don’t get any easier for UConn going forward. The Huskies are in the Cayman Islands for a Feast Week tournament. There, they will have to face #2 UCLA and defending WNIT champions Kansas. UConn will be the first major test for the Bruins, who are 4-0 behind wins against Purdue, UC Riverside, Bellarmine, and Princeton.

Drew Brees Reveals That His Right Arm “Doesn’t Work” Anymore

November 22, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Drew Brees shut down any speculation that he might be coaxed out of retirement by revealing a heart-breaking facet of his post-playing physique. “Look, I’ll let you in on a little fact. I don’t throw with my right arm anymore. My right arm does not work. So, when I throw in the backyard right now, I throw left-handed,” Brees told ESPN radio. Brees made the comments while appearing at a pickleball promotional event alongside John McEnroe. “I can play pickleball because it’s below the waist but anything above my shoulder I have a hard time with,” Brees explained.

Furthermore, Brees revealed that the root of his injury is a dislocation he suffered with the Chargers back in 2005. “[The injury] put me on the fast-track to a degenerative shoulder and all kind of arthritic changes. “If I could [throw right-handed], I would absolutely still be playing,” he explained. Brees needed a then-record 12 anchors to repair a 360-degree of his right labrum. He would join the Saints in 2006, spending the rest of his career in New Orleans.

Joe Flacco: “I Can Still Play”

— The 33rd Team (@The33rdTeamFB) November 22, 2023

While Brees may be permanently sidelined, there is one veteran QB who believes he’s still raring to go. Joe Flacco spoke on his return to the league during an introductory press conference with the Browns. “I definitely believe I can still play. I’m a veteran guy that’s been around a lot at this point in the season with a team that’s doing well. So, I think there’s a lot of different things I that I can bring to the table. Whatever my role ends up being and wherever this takes me, then I’ll do my best at that,” Flacco said.

The Browns brought in Flacco to add depth at quarterback after Deshaun Watson was ruled out for the rest of the season. However, Flacco will begin his Browns tenure as the backup to rookie Dorian Thompson-Robinson. Thompson-Robinson earned the starting job after an impressive performance against the Steelers last weekend in what was his second career start. The Browns face the Broncos this weekend, a team that Flacco spent time with after leaving the Ravens.

Joe Burrow Suffers Season-Ending Injury

November 17, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Joe Burrow has been ruled out for the rest of the season with a torn ligament in his right wrist. Burrow would exit Thursday night’s loss to the Ravens in the second quarter and was officially ruled out by halftime. It’s not Burrow’s first injury of the season, as he spent the first weeks of the season battling a nagging calf injury. Furthermore, the Bengals faced heavy criticism for trying to play Burrow through his injury despite his evident discomfort.

With Burrow out, the Bengals will likely turn to Jake Browning as the full-time starter. Browning threw for 68 yards on 8-for-14 passing against the Ravens. The former Washington Husky went undrafted in 2019 and spent two years on the Vikings’ practice squad before joining the Bengals in 2021. It’s unclear if the Bengals will look to sign another quarterback, given that Browning is now the only healthy signal-caller on the team. The Bengals are currently 5-5 during what is very much a down season for them.

NFL Investigating Burrow Injury Situation

— NFL (@NFL) November 17, 2023

The NFL has reportedly opened an investigation into why Joe Burrow was not listed on the Bengals’ injury report despite being visibly injured prior to the game. Burrow was seen exiting the team bus with a soft cast on his throwing hand. Furthermore, According to head coach Zac Taylor, the injury has been confirmed as a sprained wrist. However, he denied any knowledge of the injury prior to the game. “That was the first I saw anything about it,” Taylor said of the mid-game evaluation.

Injury report compliance is something taken very seriously by the NFL. Teams are required to report any injuries, even if the player takes the field. In 2019, the Steelers were fined $75,000 and coach Mike Tomlin was fined a further $25,000 for injury report discrepancies surrounding the status of Ben Roethlisberger in Week 2. Severe enough discrepancies could result in punishments such as the loss of draft picks. However, this is a developing story and we’ll have any updates as and when they emerge.

Deshaun Watson Speaks On Season-Ending Injury

November 15, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Deshaun Watson has expressed his shock and sadness that his 2023 season is over after learning he needs surgery to repair a fracture in his throwing shoulder. “It’s very tough. Hurt about it. I’m still in disbelief. I’m still trying to process all the information. I felt like we were turning a corner to really make a run and still believe we still will with the guys in this locker room. I just wanted to physically be a part of it. … It’s tough to try to wrap everything around my head right now,” Watson told reporters at the Browns facility earlier today.

Watson reportedly sustained the injury in the first half of the Browns game against the Ravens last weekend. However, the 28-year-old remained in the game, which was also arguably his best performance since signing with Cleveland. However, injuries have marred Watson’s entire 2023 campaign. He missed four games earlier in the season due to a rotator cuff strain. In the six games he did play, he threw for 1115 yards and 7 touchdowns. His numbers are almost equivalent to his output across the six games he played last season. Overall, it puts an end to what was meant to be Watson’s redemption season after starting his Browns career on an 11-game suspension after being accused of sexual harassment and assault by over 20 women.

Browns Turn Rookie Thompson-Robinson

Elsewhere, the Browns confirmed that rookie Dorian Thompson-Robinson would be the team’s starting quarterback against the Steelers this weekend. After a promising preseason, the UCLA rookie was thrust into his first career start in week four after Watson suffered an injury in pre-game warmups. He threw for 121 yards on 19-for-36 passing and threw three interceptions as the Ravens steamrolled the Browns. However, the team believes in Thompson Robinson. “I want to give him a week where he knows he’s the starter and gets a full week of preparation,” head coach Kevin Stefanski explained.

Thompson-Robinson starts over PJ Walker, the Browns’ primary backup who has started two of Watson’s missed games this season. Walker, who joined the Browns from Carolina in the offseason, has 618 yards, 1 touchdown, and 5 interceptions on the season so far. However, the decision means that now more than ever, the high-performance defense will be called upon to come through. Cleveland’s D has been one of the league’s best this year and is top-ten in terms of both passing and rushing yards allowed. Myles Garrett is well on his way to a career year, with many pundits already crowning him Defensive Player of the Year.

Deshaun Watson To Receive Season-Ending Surgery

November 15, 2023 by newhiphopnews

The Cleveland Browns have announced that quarterback Deshaun Watson will be sidelined for the rest of the season. According to a statement from the team, Watson will undergo surgery to repair a fracture in his throwing shoulder. Watson reportedly sustained the injury in the first half of the Browns game against the Ravens last weekend. However, the 28-year-old remained in the game, which was also arguably his performance since signing with Cleveland.

Injuries have marred Watson’s entire 2023 campaign. He missed four games earlier in the season due to a rotator cuff strain. In the six games he did play, he threw for 1115 yards and 7 touchdowns. His numbers are almost equivalent to his output across the six games he played last season. Overall, it puts an end to what was meant to be Watson’s redemption season after starting his Browns career on an 11-game suspension after being accused of sexual harassment and assault by over 20 women.

Watson-less Browns Turn To Walker

— Cleveland Browns (@Browns) November 15, 2023

In Watson’s absence, the Browns have elevated backup PJ Walker to full-time starter. Walker, who joined the Browns from Carolina in the offseason, has 618 yards, 1 touchdown, and 5 interceptions on the season so far. That means the Browns’ high-performance defense will likely be called on even more over the second half of the season. Cleveland’s D has been one of the league’s best this year and is top-ten in terms of both passing and rushing yards allowed. Myles Garrett is well on his way to a career year, with many pundits already crowning him Defensive Player of the Year.

However, the Browns are 6-3 in one of the most competitive divisions in the NFL this season. They are half a game back of the Ravens and tied for second with the Steelers. Furthermore, the Bengals have completely turned their season around and are only a game back of Pittsburgh and Cleveland. As for the rest of the season, the Browns have a very mixed schedule. They face the aforementioned Steelers and Bengals as well as a surging Texans team. However, they also face ailing opponents in the Bears, Rams, and Jets.

Aaron Rodgers Says He Might Be Returning From His Achilles Injury In “A Few Weeks:” Watch

November 7, 2023 by newhiphopnews

When Aaron Rodgers went down with his unfortunate achilles tear everyone thought that the New York Jets season was lost. Even after the highly maligned Zach Wilson stepped in and led them to a thrilling win over the division-rival Buffalo Bills, no one was convinced. However, the defense has been pretty much lights out and Zach has made some plays. This was good enough for them to go on a three-game winning streak. They did come back to earth against the Los Angeles Chargers last night, losing 27-6 and dropping to 4-4.

But, the season is still far from over for these Jets. They are in the thick of the playoff race. They are just a few spots behind the Cincinnati Bengals for the final wildcard spot. On top of that, multiple people have claimed that if they remain in the hunt, Rodgers would try to rush back and play. It would be quite a miracle, though. TMZ Sports says that the fastest anyone has recovered from an achilles tear was Minnesota Vikings running back Cam Akers. That took around five and a half months. But, Aaaron has been making serious progress and apparently, it could be in no time that we see him take the field.

Aaron Rodgers Teases A Possible Comeback

Right after the game, the players ran to centerfield to chat. Two of those were Aaron and Chargers stud safety, Derwin James. He asked the injured quarterback when he would be coming back right away. Interestingly, Aaron had this to say to him, “Give me a few weeks.” With the cameras rolling this could all be a ruse, but with his recovery process maybe he is telling the truth.

What are your initial thoughts on Aaron Rodgers saying he might be returning to action in “a few weeks?” Do you believe him, or was he just being aware that the cameras were on him? If he comes back, will the New York Jets be a threat in the playoffs? We would like to hear what you have to say about all of this. With that in mind, be sure to leave all of your thoughts and opinions in the comments section below.

Daniel Jones Suffers Season-Ending Torn ACL Injury, New York Giants Fall To 2-7

November 6, 2023 by newhiphopnews

For most of this last decade, the New York Giants have been stuck in mediocrity. That was until just last season. Led by their number eight overall pick from 2019, Daniel Jones, they went 9-7-1 and nabbed a wild card spot. In fact, they even grabbed a fairly stunning victory against the Minnesota Vikings on the road. They would eventually fall to the Eagles in the Divisional Round. Nonetheless, it was still a successful season with their first-year head coach Brian Daboll. However, things have gone south for Jones and the Giants this season.

Somehow, Jones has regressed to an extent and they are now 2-7 on the year after falling to the Las Vegas Raiders who are also going nowhere. The final score was 30-6, and even though the visiting team still might not have won, it might have been closer if Jones played the whole way. Right at the beginning of the second quarter, the Duke product crumbled to the turf on a contactless injury.

Daniel Jones Season Ended On This Play: Watch

Damn.. no contact injury to Daniel Jones. Rookie Tommy Devito in for the team.pic.twitter.com/RV8LYdbHzM

In sports, when a player goes down without anyone near him, you immediately fear the worst. Unfortunately, that did happen as multiple reports, including TMZ Sports, came out that Daniel Jones suffered a torn ACL. With that one final blow for Giants fans, they seem to have a lot more questions to answer than expected this upcoming offseason. In addition, Jones just inked a four-year $160 million dollar deal for his efforts just last season. The only two quarterbacks on the roster are a banged-up Tyrod Taylor and undrafted rookie Tommy DeVito. The latter stepped into to finish the game and he will shoulder the load until Taylor returns.

What are your initial thoughts on Daniel Jones tearing his ACL against the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday, November 5? Do you think the Giants regret paying Jones all of that money? Are they the most directionless franchise in the NFL right now? We would like to hear what you have to say about all of this. With that in mind, be sure to leave all of your thoughts and opinions in the comments section below.
