O’Neal’s ailing wrist not broken

? Tests on Shaquille O’Neal’s sprained right wrist showed no broken bones, but the Los Angeles Lakers center will probably miss tonight’s game against the Boston Celtics.

O’Neal missed practice Thursday to see a doctor after the injury kept him out of Wednesday night’s 94-92 loss to the New Jersey Nets. X-rays and a CAT scan showed two old fractures that had healed, but no new ones.

Lakers spokesman John Black said the old injuries were not thought to be causing O’Neal’s problem.

“We’ll see how the wrist is (Friday) morning and how it reacts before the game,” Black said. “At this point, I would call him doubtful.”
