Shaq knee injury?

[iheartBrad]

He left the Miami vs Chicago game already with a knee injury...don't know what happened....i wasn't watching...i turned on ESPNews...and at the bottom that lil tidbit was the breaking news so i turn it to the game and No Shaq....DWade is on his way to having a MONSTER game (in his return back home to Chicago--calls himself Chi-town's finest...heh) and its still early to midway through the second quarter

just letting everyone know about Mr. Shaq

 

[Bballkingsrock]

Yeah, it was weird. I checked yahoo and they said he only played for 3 minutes. So I thought, there is an injury for Shaq.

 

[funsc]

really?

I wonder how long he needs to recover

go Bulls

 

[iheartBrad]

yeah i just heard...they had played just under 2 mins when Shaq went down in a heap and collided with Othella Harrington...he hurt is knee and Xrays are being taken...thats all they know

 

[HndsmCelt]

maybe 350 pounds of lard landed on his knee? Never mind he is used to that.

 

[Andriod_KiNg]

I heard he was in some major pain.. i hope hes ok...

 

[iheartBrad]

strained left knee

xrays negative

If I was a Heats fan, I would be.

 

[hoopsfan]

Heats?? Is there a plural for Heat?

 

[Big Cuz 15]

i hope he's not badly hurt because i want snaq and the heat to stomp their way into the nba finals

ahh OFCOURSE!
just like we are when any of our guys go down...especially in that fashion

you were kidding/being sarcastic right...im not good at pickin up over the internet

 

[Twix]

YES! Bulls beat Heats!!

 

[SaCTowNFeveR]

yaaah bulls beat the shaq-less heat
shouldn't have even gone to overtime, but that was a nice backwards tip-in by jones

 

[iheartBrad]

BULLS are doin big things right now....good for them...they've been beating all the big teams of late...i hope they beat San Antonio...providing they actually have a match up or two left against them...ill be ROLLIN if they beat the Spurs


IMHO...Scott Skiles and Mike Fratello are neck and neck for coach of the year, thus far, IF i had an actual vote ofcourse

 

[¿¿¿]

Hey, this is why they got ZO.

 

[iheartBrad]

oh yeah...thx for bringing that up...he should be a great fill in...he was suppose to have gone for his physical...so we'll see when he laces them up

Shaq is day to day btw...

 

[Gregorius]

So its not a Chris Webber type injury? More like what happened to Duncan a couple weeks ago?

 

[iheartBrad]

yeah^

not even remotely the same as Chris's injury...Allan Houston is an example of someone is struggling with a Chris like knee injury

but Shaq didn't go down quite as awkardly as Timmy did...he just like stepped on Othella and his knee just buckled a big and he fell to the ground

this is my 2,000 post...woohoo!

A few minutes ago ESPN reported Shaq was out for the season and now they seem to be not sure. I guess the Miami Herald reported he tore ligaments.

 

[iheartBrad]

this is just ridiculous reporting if you ask me....someone took a nap in the lunch room down at the Miami Herald

 

[Evilmav2]

Sorry for the confusion on that other thread, folks. I caught that fake article up on PacersDigest and most of their posters were talking about it as if it were a real article, so I posted it before verifying the link...

 

[iheartBrad]

its not your fault Em2...don't worry

 

[bigbadred00]

Maybe they got the news from the message board ^^. Would be funny. Who is sad enough to make up such a story. Hopefully Shaq isn't hurt.........

 

[nebs]

Dude ESP FRIGGIN N was reporting it! No need to apologize.

 

[bigbadred00]

The originator is _STFU on the espn boards. Expect him to be banned pretty soon.........that is embarrasing. they need to do better research.

 

[iheartBrad]

when you think about it...it really is amazing how fast info gets around the internet

This is the latest news on Shaq:

INDIANAPOLIS -- Shaquille O'Neal won't play before his injured knee is examined by doctors in Miami.

The Heat ruled the center out of Wednesday night's game against the Indiana Pacers, and spokesman Tim Donovan said O'Neal would fly home with the team and have an MRI taken Thursday.

His status for the Heat's next home game on Saturday against Orlando has not yet been determined.

O'Neal left the game against Chicago on Tuesday night after landing awkwardly early in the first quarter. He fell onto Bulls forward Othella Harrington, after going up for an alley-oop pass from Dwyane Wade, and stayed on the floor for several minutes -- holding his knee.

He was then helped off the floor and into the locker room.

O'Neal played only two minutes against Chicago and didn't score. O'Neal, who missed a game in December due to a calf injury, is averaging 22.7 points and 10.4 rebounds in his first season with the Heat.

So we won't know how long he'll be out until this weekend.
