It is a mystery when O'Neal will return to the Celtics lineup

By Anthony Caruso III

The Boston Celtics could be without Shaquille O’Neal for the first round series.

O’Neal was first expected to come back for Game 1, but that did not happen. Now, it is a real mystery as to when/if he’ll return this season.

O’Neal has not practiced and is not able to run on his right leg. He’s been bothered by calf and Achilles issues. He suffered the calf injury on April 3rd and was wheel chaired out of the area that night.

The team is now expected O’Neal to return at the end of the Knicks series.
