Shaquille O’Neal is going to miss 2-4 weeks with a sprained ankle. This isn’t good for the Heat, who need every opportunity to play as a unit before the playoffs. With newcomers Antoine Walker, Jason Williams, James Posey and Gary Payton, it’s going to take a while for the team to gel.
O’Neal’s injury gives fantasy owners an opportunity – Alonzo Mourning. He’s in good shape and is playing with good energy. Projecting his stats from his stint with Miami last season to 30 minutes a game, he should average around 11 points, 9 boards and 3-4 blocks.
Go get him.
