The Heat will have Shaquille O'Neal and Dwyane Wade together in the lineup for the first time since November against the Pacers on Wednesday.

O'Neal missed the past 35 games while recovering from knee surgery. Wade will start after sitting out Monday's game against the Knicks with a sprained left ankle.

When Stephen Jackson, acquired by Golden State from the Indiana Pacers last week, appears in a Rochester Hills, Mich. courtroom on Friday, there is a chance that he could be immediately incarcerated for 93 days.

Even worse, if he's convicted of the three charges he faces in Indianapolis stemming from an early-morning Oct. 6 incident at an establishment called Club Rio, Jackson faces up to five more years of imprisonment.

"I worry about what I can control," Jackson said. "And the only thing I can control right now is living my life the right way and playing basketball."

Jackson's court appearance this week deals with the probation he's served since pleading no contest in September 2005 to misdemeanor assault charges from the infamous brawl between the Pacers and the Detroit Pistons in November 2004. Jackson went into the crowd after teammate Ron Artest and become involved in a melee with fans.

Originally, Friday's hearing was supposed to deal with some disputed medical costs for one of the fans involved in the brawl. But the Club Rio incident opened up whole new avenues.

"It's conceivable that he could be missing some games," said Paul Walton, the Oakland County prosecutor in charge of the case.

The Pacers believe Danny Granger can develop into a superstar and they thought Stephen Jackson was becoming a strong negative influence on the young player, which was a key reason for this week's trade.

"That was the last straw," said a source. "They saw what was happening and didn't want (Jackson) to be a negative influence on Granger."

The Pacers denied a report on Thursday that indicated they were trying to trade Mike Dunleavy to the Clippers in exchange for Corey Maggette.

"Absolutely untrue," Pacers CEO Donnie Walsh said.

"I talked to Indiana today for 45 minutes and there was no talk of any kind of deal," coach Mike Dunleavy told Los Angeles-area reporters. "He's there because they want him there."

According to three NBA executives, the Pacers are already in talks to move Mike Dunleavy to the Los Angeles Clippers for swingman Corey Maggette.

Earlier reports have indicated a strong interest from head coach Mike Dunleavy, Sr. in his son, but that other members of the Los Angeles front office had reservations.

Shaquille O'Neal has vowed not to resume playing for the Heat until his surgically repaired left knee is "1,000 percent."

He's almost there.

O'Neal went through an entire practice on Wednesday, his first time playing full-court, five-on-five since the Nov. 19 procedure to repair torn cartilage. And he could make his comeback Thursday, when the Heat host the Pacers.

The Golden State Warriors have acquired forward Al Harrington, guard/forward Stephen Jackson, guard Sarunas Jasikevicius and forward Josh Powell from the Indiana Pacers in exchange for forwards Mike Dunleavy, Troy Murphy, Ike Diogu and guard Keith McLeod, it was announced today by Executive Vice President of Basketball Operations Chris Mullin.

"We are excited about this trade," said Mullin. "As I've said on several occasions, we are always looking to make our basketball team better and, with this move, I think we have accomplished that goal. We have acquired players who will fit in very well with our particular style of basketball.  As with any trade, we also had to surrender players that we like both on and off the court. I think this transaction will be good for both teams and all of the players involved."

?We feel we made a pretty significant trade for the franchise that will be good for both teams,? said Pacers President of Basketball Operations Larry Bird. ?Trades are always painful because you give up players you like, but in this case, we think it?s a good trade that works for both teams. We feel the players we got will make a significant difference in the franchise.?

The Golden State Warriors have agreed to trade Troy Murphy, Mike Dunleavy, Ike Diogu and Keith McLeod to the Indiana Pacers for Al Harrington, Stephen Jackson, Sarunas Jasikevicius and Josh Powell, NBA front-office sources tell ESPN.com's Marc Stein.

The trade is scheduled to be announced later Wednesday.

Tony Allen scored 19 points for Boston before leaving with an injured left knee with 3:01 remaining in the third quarter.

Allen went up for a free dunk and landed awkwardly, writhing in pain for several minutes until his teammates carried him off the court.

Allen was taken to New England Baptist Hospital for an MRI.

"This is just terrible," Celtics coach Doc Rivers said. "When he came down, you could see his heel jam into the ground and I reacted right away because I could see it, I could feel it"

Jermaine O'Neal suffered an ankle sprain during Monday's practice.  He had to be helped to the locker room.

"We'll see how he is (today)," coach Rick Carlisle said. "It's the same ankle that has been bothering him. He's had repeated mild sprains in this ankle and a couple of severe ones."
