Jermaine O'Neal To Undergo Surgery
The Boston Celtics announced today that center Jermaine O’Neal will undergo surgery on his left wrist and will miss the remainder of the 2011-12 season.

O'Neal ponders wrist options
Celtics center Jermaine O’Neal remains out of action while pondering his options regarding an ailing left wrist, according to coach Doc Rivers.

Following Sunday’s win over the Memphis Grizzlies, Celtics center Jermaine O’Neal flipped the script on reporters and asked us a question about his performance this season.

Jermaine suffers bone bruise
Celtics center Jermaine O’Neal said he underwent an MRI Saturday in fear of a possible meniscus tear, but breathed a sigh of relief when tests revealed merely a bone bruise.
O’Neal played in Sunday’s win over the Grizzlies, chipping in four points, seven rebounds, and two blocked shots over 25 minutes, 20 seconds of action.
“[The MRI] actually turned out pretty good,” said O’Neal. “I still have a bone bruise, [but] I was pretty pleased with that because we were little nervous it was [a meniscus tear].
