    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">MIAMI -- Shaquille O'Neal will undergo knee surgery and be sidelined for four to six weeks, the Miami Heat said Friday.

    O'Neal tore cartilage in his left knee Sunday when he collided with Houston's Chuck Hayes. The injury was originally diagnosed as a hyperextended knee.

    The Heat center sat out Tuesday's game, practiced Thursday and was expected to play Friday against the New York Knicks. But he was listed as inactive, and the Heat announced shortly before tipoff that he would undergo surgery, with the date not disclosed.</div>

    Shaq's collision with Hayes was more serious than I thought. Shaq even played on after the knee collision.

    Yeah, I don't think we'll expect to see Dwyane Wade put in extra effort, since he's already fatigured from USA play in the summer.
