Shaq's rehab would have taken nine months
Shaquille O'Neal - C - Boston Celtics
June 2, 2011 - 9:30 AM ET
Shaquille O'Neal said that surgery to repair his Achilles would have resulted in nine months of rehab.
Shaq's calf was supposedly bothering him all year, but it was really the Achilles. He could not have been effective without the surgery, and holding the Celtics hostage again as he rehabs wouldn't have been fair to either party. Shaq will hold a final press conference at his home on Friday.
