인디애나가 저메인 오닐을 로스터에 올렸네요. 오늘은 벤치 멤버로 출장했습니다.
<br>
지난 덴버 원정 때 프란시스코 엘슨에게 반칙을 당하면서 어깨 부상을 당했는데, 이제 돌아왔습니다. 인디애나도 플옵 진출이 결정됐으니, 저메인 오닐의 실전 감각을 끌어올려주는 게 좋겠죠.
<br>
오늘 마이애미에 지긴 했지만 저메인 오닐이 돌아왔다는 게 위안이 됩니다.
<br>
틴슬리가 대신 부상자 명단에 올랐는데, 벌써 2달 가까이 못 나오고 있던 상황이라서 플옵 때 나올 수 있을지는 불투명한 상황입니다.

Pacers activate O'Neal, put Tinsley on injured list

MIAMI (AP) -- All-Star forward Jermaine O'Neal was activated by the Indiana Pacers on Sunday, more than a month after he injured his right shoulder so severely that the team once feared his season was over.
<br>
<br>
O'Neal wasn't in the starting lineup for the Pacers' game in Miami, but entered with 2:52 remaining in the first quarter. To make room on the roster, Indiana placed guard Jamaal Tinsley on the injured list with a bruised left foot.
<br>
<br>
Indiana coach Rick Carlisle said before the game it was important to get O'Neal worked back in with the playoffs looming. O'Neal leads the team in scoring at 24.8 points a game.
<br>
<br>
<br>
``You hope he can get back for two or three games before the playoffs, just to get some conditioning and some rhythm back,'' Carlisle said.
<br>
<br>
The move was announced about an hour before tip-off, and O'Neal wasn't available for pregame comment.
<br>
<br>
The injury, originally diagnosed as a partial dislocation, happened March 3 when his right arm was pulled back by Denver's Francisco Elson on a drive to the basket.
<br>
<br>
O'Neal -- who told reporters on March 18 that the injury would need ``six or seven months'' to fully heal -- missed the Pacers' next 22 games. In his absence, Indiana went 15-7 and climbed from a sub-.500 mark back into contention for home-court advantage in the opening round of the playoffs.
<br>
<br>
``This was a very difficult injury,'' Carlisle said. ``We've been through a lot with it and we just want to make sure he's ready. It's his decision.''
<br>
<br>
O'Neal played in just 41 of Indiana's first 79 games. Besides missing 22 because of the shoulder, he was suspended for 15 games for his role in the brawl that marred a Pacers game at Detroit in November.
<br>
<br>
Tinsley, who hasn't played since Feb. 23 because of the sore foot, is averaging a career-high 15.4 points this season, plus 6.4 assists for the Pacers. His availability for the playoffs, which begin next weekend, is uncertain.
