"We won't play him until he's 100 per cent," Heat coach Stan Van Gundy said
after O'Neal was injured in a 84-80 victory over the Indiana Pacers on Sunday.
The injury, which Van Gundy called "a deep thigh contusion," is not
considered serious, but will give O'Neal a chance to rest before the playoffs.
The Heat close out the regular season with games against Charlotte on
Tuesday and at Orlando on Wednesday. Their first playoff game will come next
weekend.
