O'Neal announced Monday that he does not have enough time to get physically prepared to play basketball in the NBA this season, ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
O'Neal has been training privately for the past few weeks in the Dallas suburb of Southlake. It was thought to be only a matter of time before he joined the Mavericks, but O'Neal said Monday that he has not been able to get physically prepared for the NBA. While he isn't completely giving up on playing basketball this season, O'Neal acknowledged that he may not play again. If he does end up playing, it will likely be in a limited role for the Mavs.

O'Neal keeps finding employment despite declining athleticism and a predilection for injury. He's averaged just 33 games per season the last three years, but feels his knees are good after undergoing a second round of Regenokine treatment – a form of blood manipulation therapy – this summer. O'Neal had his first treatment in the summer of 2012, and the 55 games he played for Phoenix last season was the most he'd played in the past three seasons. At this point, teams aren't (or shouldn't be) looking for him to be an important contributor. The Warriors would be happy if he can play 15 minutes a night without much drop off defensively in the low post. There's been a decline in offensive production in his advanced years, but O'Neal remains a pretty good rim protector and rebounder.
