Shaquille O'Neal will not play Wednesday

Even with Big Daddy missing in the Center, it should still be a fun game nonetheless. And of course, condolences to the O’Neal family…

Inside The Lakers: Just got word that Suns center Shaquille O’Neal will not play in Wednesday’s night’s game against the Lakers in order to attend the funeral of his great-grandmother, Cillar O’Neal.

O’Neal had his best game of the season Tuesday night, finishing with 35 points and eight rebounds in the Suns victory over Milwaukee.

Update: Bell, Diaw and Singletary also won’t suit up today due to just being traded to the Bobcats for Jason Richardson and Jared Dudley.
