| December 26, 2006 Shaquille ONeal is expected to return from knee surgery sometime in January, but there's still no specific timeframe, according to the Miami Herald. "I think somewhere in January," coach Pat Riley said. "And, again, we're not going to rush anything. Maybe after the first of the year, I can't even tell, I haven't talked to the doctors yet, but somewhere in that period of time, maybe he'll get back to some court action. I'll definitely have to reacquaint him to some of our system things that we've changed or updated, offense. So, it'll be a process there, first, mentally, before physical activity starts." |
| December 14, 2006 Heat coach Pat Riley said yesterday that the timetable for the return of Shaquille O'Neal has now been pushed into January, according to the Sun-Sentinel.

| March 22, 2006 Shaquille O'Neal returned from his thumb injury on Wednesday against the Pistons, according to the AP. He played a season-high 43 minutes, scoring 27 points. |
| March 22, 2006 The Heat actually expected Shaquille O'Neal to start last night's game before deciding to hold him out within an hour of game time due to his sore right thumb, according to the Miami Herald.
