Lakers coach Phil Jackson said O'Neal called to say he wasn't feeling well and wouldn't attend Monday's practice as the team prepared to play Portland on Tuesday night in its first game following the break. O'Neal had 24 points and 11 rebounds as the Western Conference beat the East 136-132 in Sunday night's All-Star game at Staples Center. He is expected to play against the Trail Blazers in the Lakers' first home game since Jan. 29.</div> More here.
The All-Star game was too tiring, he worked too hard to get that MVP award. Time for another injury so he can take 2 weeks off and recover!
Probably partying all night, bragging to his friends about winning the All-Star MVP award while he didn't even start the game, and fatigue. Yeah, that's probably what happened.
LOL, he later admitted that he was on the highway and their was an accident or something, and he wasn't able to make it, he took it in as his fault and that he should have came though. I knew he wasn't sick.
