Shaquille O'Neal - C - Boston Celtics

Shaquille O'Neal (Achilles, calf) isn't expected to practice on Friday, but coach Doc Rivers is hopeful that he'll return during the second round of the playoffs.
As usual, the Celtics are expressing a sort of vague optimism. "No decision made or anything," said Rivers. "I'm more confident now that he'll play in this series. I don't know when." Even when he does return, it's doubtful that Shaq will log more than 20 minutes per game.
