After dazzling us with six points in 5 minutes, Shaqulille O'Neal pulled up lame while running up the court in the 2nd quarter.
He did not make contact with any other player. According to Greg Dickerson, Shaq was in so much pain he had to stop in the tunnel and needed a wheelchair to take him into the locker room.
My biggest fear is that Shaq's Achilles is torn. If so, that's an injury that will end his career.
I was wrong about Nads injury, let's hope I'm wrong about Shaq's condition.
UPDATE: Bill Doyle of the Worcester Gazette reports that Shaq did not use the wheelchair. Take that for whatever it's worth.
