MIAMI (AP) - Shaquille O'Neal will accompany the Miami Heat on their six-game western swing beginning Friday, and could return to the lineup for the road-trip finale, Jan. 15 at the Lakers, coach Pat Riley said.
O'Neal hasn't practiced since tearing cartilage in his left knee Nov. 12. He underwent surgery a week later and was then projected to be sidelined until at least late December.
The 34-year-old O'Neal is expected to resume running and practicing soon. He estimated that he'll need a "couple of practices" to feel comfortable enough to play.
