Wooden is doing well

John Wooden had the cast on his arm cut open because of swelling but was otherwise in good health and high spirits on his third day in the hospital, the daughter of the former UCLA basketball coach said Sunday.

“Dad is doing well and his vital signs are good,” Nan Muehlhausen said in a statement.

The 97-year-old Wooden broke two bones when he fell at his condominium Thursday and underwent blood transfusions at an undisclosed hospital over the weekend.

Doctors found Wooden had a hairline fracture in his wrist and a fractured collarbone.

“Everyone expects that he will make a full recovery,” Muehlhausen said. “It will just take a couple of more days before he can go home.”

Doctors cut open the cast on Wooden’s left arm but will recast the arm before he goes home, Muehlhausen said.
