ESPN BOSTON - Shaquille O'Neal made his long-awaited return to the lineup, joining the Boston Celtics for their game against the Detroit Pistons on Sunday. But the big guy's reappearance ended almost as soon as it began.
Forty-nine seconds into the second quarter -- and into his sixth minute of action -- O'Neal came up limping while running up the floor on a Boston possession, clearly favoring the right foot which had given him so much trouble the last two months...
Well, looks like Shaq's gonna have more time to pose as more statues, or maybe do some work on the script of Kazaam 2. Seriously though, the same day he gets back, he goes down. I feel like Shaq's the kid on the team who joins for the varsity jacket and spends weeks icing an ankle in the trainers office just because the school's trainer has a nice rack. But besides that he just can't stay healthy. Between the Sox last year and the Celtics this year, injuries are just killing Boston teams. But hey, Pierce and Garnett both scored over 20 and the C's pulled out a nice little victory over a shitty Pistons team. All about 18.
