may need to go on the injured list with a sprained left knee
O'Neal suffered the injury in the fourth quarter of the Pacers' 95-83 loss in Houston on Wednesday night. If he misses a week, that would mean an absence of four games. Atlanta comes to Conseco Fieldhouse Monday night, then the team travels to Cleveland next Friday. Then comes consecutive games against Central Division rival New Orleans on Dec. 28 at home and Dec. 31 at home.
"I'd rather go on the injured list if I'm not going to heal fast," said O'Neal, who began rehabilitation work Friday. "(Saturday) will be really the day that I can judge."
O'Neal's absence means an opportunity for Al Harrington, who moved into the starting lineup and produced 19 points and eight rebounds against the Bulls. Center Brad Miller also became a primary option inside and he responded with 26 points on 11-of-16 shooting, adding 14 rebounds.
