Apparently, the Miami Herald is reporting that he's out for the season. I don't see it on their front page, but someone here at work just told me. Just a rumor for now, but that will DESTROY the Heat.

Don't think he will be out for the season, x-ray was negative... maybe just a sprain?

I never cared for Shaq...but he is definitely one of the best centers out there. He made the difference on the Lakers when he played there. He's a tree that stands in the middle and disrupts the other team's offense...then he gets rebounds. I forgot the exact numbers, but there was like a 26 point difference in the positive direction when he was in the game and a -15 point difference when he was out. Free throws aren't everything.

Kazaam! (by the way, I don't like him either)

Yeah, but Shaq never won the rebound title, being as dominating as he is.

Update: O'Neal (knee) is out for the season, ESPNews reports.

Recommendation: Obviously, this is huge news - suddenly the Pistons become the big favorites in the East again, and the Heat will have to try to milk more minutes out of Alonzo Mourning when he signs.

To the haters

<nelson>Ha Ha</nelson>

Shaq not out for season. ESPNews is now reporting Shaq only has a strained knee, no tear.

I just saw Sportscenter, and they reporter said that the trainers are hopeful because there's no swelling. They're talking about possibly getting him back in a week or two.

no point really. it just strikes me as odd that people will enter a thread just to say they dont care about the topic... well you obviously cared enough to make the comment! if you truly didnt care, no one would know

reports are that the supposed Miami Herald report was ficticous.

Shaq hasn't even gotten an MRI done yet. He's definitely hurt, but hasn't announced how many games he'll be out (if any).

yup, every NBA-related thread has idiots post how much they don't care. same goes for celebrity threads. people supposedly don't care, but the thread caught their eye and they clicked it to post in it.
