According to reports, 11-time NBA champion and 84-year-old Russell was hospitalised because of dehydration late on Friday.

TMZ reported an ambulance transported Russell from his home in the Seattle area to a local hospital.
Russell was experiencing heart trouble and shortness of breath, according to TMZ.
Russell won a record 11 NBA championships, all with the Celtics, and is considered one of the greatest NBA players of all time.
