Pacers F O’Neal to miss game vs. Mavs

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.
