This is perfect. If Shaq is not playing, we give Ming a few minuets against the Blazers. Ten minutes maybe to translate his practice into the game, take mental notes, and work on them. Then put him on the injured list for 5 games for his ankle to heal and especially to rest. Windandsea, He doesn't have to worry about Shaq, because Shaq's not playing. Maybe Shaq's scared? hehe. Seriously though, Shaq said it could be up to 2 weeks until his return. This is the perfect opportunity to turn the season around for Ming. Getting health yand rested would be perfect.
