Coach Will Wade said on his weekly radio show Tuesday night that the 6-foot-10 O'Neal, who has proven to be a capable rebounder despite limited minutes, could be out for an extended amount of time.

While the exam is pending, Wade didn't sound too optimistic.

"We're not sure when, or if, we'll get him back this year," Wade said. "He could be on the shelf for a while. We have to see how (the examination) turns out."
