What is wrong with Los Angeles Lakers star Shaquille O’Neal? [originaltext]

Los Angeles Lakers star Shaquille O’Neal is listed as questionable for Tuesday night’s game against Yao Ming and the Houston Rockets at Staples Center because of a sore left knee. O’Neal and Yao faced off for the first time. O’Neal won the individual battle with 31 points and 13 rebounds against 20 points, 10 rebounds and six blocks for Yao Ming, but the Rockets won the game. Yao shot 9-of-9 in scoring 20 points--by far his best NBA game to that stage. The Rockets won this game with a lead over the Lakers. The three-time defending NBA champion Lakers have a busy week—after facing the Rockets, they play Wednesday night at Utah; Friday night at home against Portland, and Sunday night at home against Seattle.
