When the curtain lifted on Celtics practice Monday afternoon, Shaquille O'Neal was once again out on the floor with the first unit. The reason for that is Jermaine O'Neal has been limited with a hamstring injury that he suffered at the end of Friday's scrimmage. Doc Rivers said Jermaine O'Neal would be out this week. O'Neal preferred it to term it day to day, but understood the need for precaution. "I’m not really concerned about it," Jermaine O'Neal said. "It’s the timing, being here with the guys getting that chemistry. I was just starting to get comfortable with the philosophies, what Doc wanted. That’s the most frustrating part about it. But I don’t have any doubt in my mind that I’ll be back fairly soon." Delonte West also left practice with back spasms, but Rivers expects him to be back soon.
