According to the South Florida Sun-Sentinel, Heat center Shaquille O'Neal could end up missing a month of action after having MRI exams earlier this week.

It was originally reported that he would miss just a few weeks, but he will be re-evaluated after undergoing two weeks of treatment and ice for the swelling and fluid that his hip has accumulated. It will then be determined if he can return to the cour, or have to undergo another series of treatments.

If he's not able to take the floor after the first round of treatments, he'll end up missing more than a month of action.
