By Bruin Basketball Report

John Wooden went from the hospital to a rehabilitation center Tuesday, nearly two weeks after the 97-year-old UCLA coaching great broke his left wrist and collarbone in a fall at home.

"Dad had one of his better days today," his son, Jim Wooden, said in a statement. "He will do exercises two to three times daily. As soon as his strength is back, we will get him home."

Wooden said his father wanted to thank everyone for their kind thoughts and the many get-well cards he has received.

He was hospitalized Feb. 29.
