April 29, 2011 – The Hoop Doctors
Questions started to rise about the Boston Celtics when they traded Kendrick Perkins. Luckily for Boston, Jermaine O’Neal has stepped up big for them so far in the playoffs. Hopefully, they’ll have the services of their other O’Neal soon…
The Boston Celtics hope to have Shaquille O’Neal back at practice on Friday.
Celtics coach Doc Rivers said O’Neal would do a “skeleton” workout on Thursday and “hopefully” join the team on Friday for its final workout before Sunday’s Game 1 of the Eastern Conference semifinals against the Miami Heat.
O’Neal has played a total of 5 minutes, 29 seconds since Feb. 1 because of problems with his right calf and Achilles tendon.
