Shaq Hits The Practice Court With Team

MIAMI (CBS4) ― The 'Big Man' was back on the court, well the practice court anyway, after missing eight games with Miami Heat due to a hip injury.

Shaquille O'Neal focused on weight training, cardiovascular work and
shooting drills, but passed on the contact drills.

Last week, O'Neal flew to Los Angeles to receive medical treatment on his hip that he bruised last month during a game against Utah. Four weeks later, he aggravated the injury in a game against Philadelphia and has not played since.

A sore left knee also has contributed to O'Neal's least productive season in his 16-year career. He's averaged only 14 points and 7.8 rebounds in 29 games. The Miami Heat center is expected to be ready for Wednesday's game against the Chicago Bulls.
