Indiana Pacers' forward Jermaine O'Neal will sit out Friday's game against the Dallas Mavericks with swelling in his left knee and lower leg.

The six-time All-Star missed Wednesday's 105-93 victory in New Orleans. The timetable for his return is uncertain.

"If it takes shutting him down a couple days to get him right, we'll do that," Coach Jim O'Brien told Pacers.com after practice Thursday.

It will be the 85th regular-season game O'Neal has missed in just over three seasons.
