Shaquille O'Neal won't be displaying his talents in South Beach on Wednesday night.
Head coach Doc Rivers told reporters that the center will likely be sitting out Game 5, according to WEEI.com.
"It was physical," Rivers said at shootaround Wednesday. "Don't know yet [Wednesday]. I will say I doubt it. [During] that little stretch of the game, it got worse.
"It's nothing he can do. It's not like he's not trying," Rivers added. "He's done everything you possibly can do to get healthy. Unfortunately for him, he just hasn't been able to do it. When he originally got injured, no one thought it was that serious. It just never healed and it still hasn't, and now every time he plays, it gets worse."
