NBA legend Russell released after overnight hospital stay

"Thank you everyone for the kind thoughts, yes I was taken to the hospital
last night & as my wife likes to remind me I don't drink enough. On my way
home & as most my friends know I don't have a heart to give me trouble,"
Russell joked in a tweet on Saturday.

The NBA legend, 84, was rushed to the hospital from his home in an ambulance
on Friday, according to TMZ. The website, which initially reported that
Russell had "apparent heart issues" said Saturday it was told by a
representative for Russell that he was admitted for dehydration.

Russell played his entire 13-year career with the Boston Celtics, helping the
franchise win 11 championships in that time.

A five-time MVP and 12-time All-Star, Russell was inducted to the Hall of Fame
in 1975.
