'I Don't Drink Enough': Celtics Legend Bill Russell Recovering After Health Scare

BOSTON (CBS) – Celtics legend Bill Russell was rushed to a Washington state hospital Friday night after a scare he says resulted in him not drinking enough water.

TMZ first reported that Russell was taken by ambulance from his Seattle-area home. His condition was not known at the time.

But a short time later, Russell himself tweeted that he was on his way home from the hospital.

Russell, 84, played 13 seasons with the Celtics. He won 11 championships, five MVP awards, and his No. 6 was retired by the Celtics. He also became the first black coach in NBA history.
