Thanks for the update. Is this precautionary, or is he still not ready?

Still not ready it seems to me.

Well, if that's the case, that really sucks balls and he probably won't practice on Friday and Saturday, too.

This was mentioned in the thread about the "new" Shaq photos, but I thought it deserved its own thread. Blakely's twitter from about two hours ago:

#Celtics Doc Rivers said Shaq will not practice today or tomorrow.

So, does this mean that there really was no secret plan to keep Shaq out of the Knicks series and save him for Miami, because he really was not hurt? Or, does this mean that Shaq still cannot go and he will likely not play in the Miami series? Doc has said that Shaq will have to practice before he plays, so I doubt we see him at least in the first two Miami games. I love that this charade continues to play out in front of our eyes.

It means that Shaq won't practice today or tomorrow. You and I don't know anything more than that.

But, if one wants to hold an optimist's view, it could mean that they are giving his legs as long as they can to rest and recover before he practices full out on Friday/Saturday.

I'd bet that if he's out for game one and we lose he will be there in game 2. But at this point, who knows.

However I'm remaining positive.

Nothings changed...that tweet by Sherrod (or some other Celtics writer) also mentioned that they hope to have him practice on Friday. If he does, I'm sure he can play Sunday. (that is if everything goes ok)

I love Doc's non-commital, say-nothing quotes, but at this point, I am sure they are the only quotes that can be made about Shaq, because no one knows:

"Shaq is not going to practice today, and he will not practice [Thursday]," said Rivers. "We hope he’ll practice the next day, whatever day that would be. Is that Friday? OK, we hope he’s back on Friday. But we don’t know, we’ll see."

Rivers later admitted that O'Neal, limited to 5½ minutes of action since Feb. 1 due to right Achilles and calf injuries, is doing "a lot better," but wouldn't start speculating about his availability for Game 1 of the next round.

"It really depends, not just on Friday, but Friday and Saturday, so I don't know," said Rivers. "I don't know if I'm confident or not. I'm hopeful."

I'm pretty sure the "won't even try" again. ::)

I would try to get him through a few practices before unleashing him. If he can't run today, I don't want him playing NBA-playoff basketball on Sunday.

If (and that's as big an if as Shaq himself) he can get through basic drills Friday, I'd aim for a return in Game 3 about a week later.

Bringing him back prematurely may be risking a re-aggravation of whatever is bothering him exactly.
