Adam, 55, was photographed in Brentwood, California while getting breakfast with his wife Jackie, 47.

The Hustle actor sported his standard t-shirt and basketball shorts combo while also being equipped with a cane for the outing.

The cane seemed to be less of a fashion-forward move and more of an actual walking aid as he traversed the Los Angeles neighborhood.

The comic, who is well-known to be physically active, may have been injured in one of the pickup basketball games in which he frequently participates.

The former Saturday Night Live funnyman is also famed for putting his body on the line when acting in certain film roles; such as The Waterboy, The Longest Yard, and Uncut Gems.

Earlier this summer, Adam returned to the big screen to headline his new basketball-themed film, Hustle.

He brings his love of the game to the role alongside major NBA athletes.

Hustle was co-produced by NBA superstar LeBron James and pulls viewers into the sports league as it introduces big-name current and former players throughout the storyline.
The film surrounds Adam’s character Stanley Sugarman, a basketball scout who is working to push Bo Cruz, played by Juancho Hernangómez, to a brighter future.

An unlikely pair, Stanley, and Bo both come from troubled backgrounds which brings them together as they pursue their dreams with the NBA and ultimately, the Philadelphia 76ers.

Hustle introduces major NBA personalities for authenticity including former players Shaquille O’Neal, Allen Iverson, Julius Irving, and Kenny Smith.

“It’s such a good opportunity, “Hustle,” Adam previously told Slash Film about having the pro players star in his new movie.

“The premise of scouting and finding a real NBA player and bringing him to see if he can fit in the NBA and be a star there, and have a life there.

“That’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so I think that the goal was to make sure the hoop looked as cool as possible, as real as possible, and a guy like me and a guy like Juancho watches it and goes, ‘Yeah, that’s how it goes.'”

The funnyman previously gave fans a scare when whispers began that he had passed away after a number of posts were published discussing his demise.

Claims of Adam’s untimely death began to swirl on TikTok and Twitter as part of a bizarre trend.

The Punch-Drunk Love actor caused a panic after unknowing fans caught wind of the videos that alleged he had drowned or been in a fatal accident.

But it turns out social media users were simply taking part in a madcap trend of telling people Sandler was dead while filming their reaction.

The majority of people responded to the fake news of the treasured New York native’s passing by becoming visibly upset and shocked.

But it has since been confirmed that the Happy Gilmore star is very much alive and kicking.

Creators of the trend were hit with a huge backlash from unamused fans, who branded the prank “sick.”

One Twitter user wrote: “Adam Sandler being dead is a lame hoax.”

While another commented: “I find death hoaxes extremely unfunny. Adam Sandler is not dead stop spreading fake news smh.”

“Whoever started the “Adam Sandler is dead rumor” is sick, & perverse,” a third added.
