Indiana Pacers free agent Jermaine O'Neal's planned trip to Texas today may be delayed because of a family emergency.

Mavericks owner Mark Cuban, who was readily awaiting O'Neal's arrival, said he's convinced that O'Neal might not visit at all.

"It doesn't look like Jermaine is coming to visit," Cuban said in an e-mail. "... It doesn't appear he is going to San Antonio, either."

But Deddrick Faison, O'Neal's Portland-based agent, said he expects his client to visit the Mavericks and San Antonio Spurs during the same trip to Texas.

Faison did not elaborate on the family emergency. O'Neal also plans to visit the Miami Heat.

"At this point in time he's not real sure where he's going to go," Faison said. "I think more than anything else, he's with his family right now."
