Jermaine officially introduced as a Boston Celtic
The last time the world saw Jermaine O’Neal, the Celtics had just finished picking him apart. Boston had defeated the Miami Heat in five games in the first round of the playoffs, and O’Neal was in the visiting locker room at TD Garden.
His 14 years in the NBA had all left him short of the Finals, and he’d gone into recent seasons wondering if making the playoffs at all was a tangible goal. After that loss, O’Neal was asked if he would ever consider playing for a team like the Celtics. The truth…

Jermaine O'Neal misses game with sprained ankle
Turns out Dwyane Wade’s bruised right wrist wasn’t the most worrisome injury for the Heat.
Jermaine O’Neal, who played only 17 minutes against the Knicks on Sunday because of foul trouble, sat out Monday’s game against the 76ers because of a sprained left ankle that he aggravated in the fourth quarter Sunday.
Wade fell hard on his wrist just before halftime in New York, but he played through the pain in the second half and was in the starting lineup Monday.
O’Neal, who sat for the fifth time in the past eight games, said he’s not concerned about missing time just before the playoffs, in part because his previously hyperextended right knee feels good, and also because he has enough time before this…

Jermaine O'Neal sits again, plans to return in knee brace
Miami Heat center Jermaine O’Neal has agreed to play in a brace when he returns from the hyperextended right knee that has kept him out of the past two games, including Wednesday night’s game against the Detroit Pistons at the Palace of Auburn Hills.
O’Neal, who has had minimal knee trouble this season after playing in a knee brace last season, said he could return to practice as soon as Thursday, in advance of Friday’s game against the Indiana Pacers at Conseco Fieldhouse.
“It’s still a little sore,” he said of the injury sustained in the first quarter of last Friday’s road victory against the Milwaukee Bucks. “But I think at this point I’m not looking for complete health. You’re not really…

Jermaine leaves game with knee injury
Heat center Jermaine O’Neal was helped off the court in the first quarter Friday night against Milwaukee after hyperextending his right knee.
O’Neal’s return is questionable. He was called for traveling with 5:20 left in the quarter and while Bucks center Primoz Brezec was nearby, the two didn’t appear to make contact.
O’Neal hopped awkwardly, took a half-step and fell to the court. After he briefly tried to sit up, Quentin Richardson and Dwyane Wade called urgently for the trainers.
The entire team and training staff surrounded O’Neal while a trainer bent and stretched O’Neal’s right knee.
After several minutes, O’Neal was helped to his feet and was putting some weight on his right leg. He went to the bench and rubbed the top…
