Shaq undergoes MRI on knee

The MRI was performed by Dr. Harlan Selesnick and O’Neal will be listed as day-to-day.

O’Neal sustained the injury in the first quarter of Tuesday night’s overtime loss to Chicago when he landed on Bulls forward Othella Harrington. The LSU product never returned to the game and x-rays performed were negative.

The starting center for the Eastern Conference in last week’s All-Star game, O’Neal also missed Miami’s overtime setback to Indiana on Wednesday due to the injury.

O’Neal, in his first season with the Heat, is averaging 22.7 points and 10.4 rebounds in 54 games this season.
