Shaquille O'Neal was with his teammates on the practice floor Monday, but he wasn't ready to address the media just yet.

"Those who don't play don't deserve to talk," O'Neal said before limping off the court back toward the locker room.

While O'Neal riding the stationary bicycle and being around his teammates was uplifting to them, indications are that the center will miss at least another two weeks with the sprained right ankle.

O'Neal wasn't wearing any protective gear on his ankle when he left the floor Monday, but he has been in a boot since removing the hard cast on Thursday. O'Neal was grimacing and limping badly as he walked off the court.
