Shaquille O’Neal caused a fright after a picture of him lying in a hospital bed made rounds on the internet.
But the former NBA star reassured his fan base that there’s “no need to worry.” In fact, the former Los Angeles Lakers player joked about having “some BBL work” done.

O’Neal posted a funny throwback video of him on Twitter, wearing a Lakers jersey with his buttocks on full display—the footage was edited to show a distorted image of his rear end. At the same time, a remix of Adele’s “Hello” played in the background.

“To all the people who are worried and concerned. first off, let me say thank you,” O’Neal wrote. “And lastly no need to worry, just had to get some BBL WORK AKA #hipreplacement. Thanks and love you all. but no need to worry and yes i’m fine.”
O’Neal, also a TNT co-host, tagged two of his co-hosts, Candace Parker and Ernie Johnson, in the photo, telling them he’s “always watching” them, even in the hospital.
“Miss y’all,” O’Neal ended.
