Miami, FL (My Sportsbook) - Miami center Jermaine O'Neal sat out Friday's Game 6 of the Eastern Conference quarterfinals against Atlanta due to a concussion. The Heat won the game, 98-72, to force a deciding Game 7 on Sunday. The team announced that O'Neal would miss the game due the injury he suffered in Game 5 after being elbowed by Atlanta's Zaza Pachulia. O'Neal is day-to- day. Hawks forward Marvin Williams was originally expected to miss Game 6 due to a sprained wrist that caused him to sit out the previous three contests, but he entered Friday's game late in the first quarter and finished with zero points. Atlanta forward Al Horford missed the game with a sprained ankle. He was hurt in the first half of Game 5's victory and had to be helped to the locker room. |
