Ric Flair to Undergo Surgery

During the TNT NBA halftime show on Thursday night, Basketball Hall of Famer Charles Barkley wished “Nature Boy” Ric Flair well ahead of surgery Friday.

Barkley, who is a close friend of Flair’s, did not disclose what type of surgery Flair is having.

In 2017, Flair underwent a surgical procedure and spent time in the hospital. Flair said that he was only given a 20 percent chance to live at one point.
