| Player Notes |
| December 26, 2006 Jermaine ONeal missed Tuesday's game because of the flu, according to the AP. He is listed as day-to-day. |
| December 13, 2006 As expected, the Pacers got Jermaine O'Neal back in the mix Wednesday evening. He had a huge game against the Pistons, playing 38 minutes, scoring 26 points and cleaning the glass for 14 rebounds. O'Neal had missed the previous three contests with a strained left hamstring. |
| December 13, 2006 Jermaine O'Neal said yesterday that he plans to return to action tonight, according to the Indianapolis Star. "I'm going to play. I practiced (Tuesday) with no problem. I got some extra work to get my stamina back up, and I'll be ready to go," he said. O'Neal has missed the past three games with a strained left hamstring. |
| December 12, 2006 Jermaine ONeal did not play on Monday due to his pulled left hamstring, according to the Detroit News. He's hoping to return to action soon. |
| December 11, 2006 Although Jermaine O'Neal said he wants to return to action tonight, the Pacers are listing him as doubtful, according to the Indianapolis Star. O'Neal has missed the past couple of games with a hamstring injury, and coach Rick Carlisle said an MRI revealed a problem area. |
| December 9, 2006 As expected, Jermaine O'Neal missed Friday's game and will remain out of the mix Saturday, too, according to the Indianapolis Star. His hamstring injury doesn't appear to be serious, but the Pacers want to be cautious with his return. "Were hopeful addressing it now can prevent us from having to deal with something long term," Pacers coach Rick Carlisle said. "I saw the MRIs and he doesnt have a tear, but he has the beginnings of a possible tear and significant swelling. If hes not shut down now and treated, this thing could get ugly very fast." |
| December 8, 2006 Jermaine ONeal missed Friday's game against the Trail Blazers because of a sore left hamstring, according to the AP. He is day-to-day. |
| December 2, 2006 Jermaine O'Neal was in and out of Friday's game due to a sore left hamstring, according to the Indianapolis Star. He said it was the same muscle that caused him to miss action during the preseason. "He felt something in there where it was bothering him enough in the first half that he felt like it might tear," coach Rick Carlisle said. "He got it worked on in the first half, warmed up and was able to go in the second half. Well see where he is (for tonights game at Denver)." |
| November 10, 2006 Jermaine O'Neal was able to play Friday against Orlando despite his left ankle injury. O'Neal didn't have one of his better games - just nine points on 4-for-15 shooting - but at least he was on the court. He added 11 rebounds in his 31-minute stint. |
| November 9, 2006 Jermaine ONeal, who sat out Wednesday night's game because of a left ankle injury, will be re-evaluated today, according to the Indianapolis Star. He could play on Friday, but nothing is set in stone at this point. |
| November 8, 2006 Jermaine ONeal sat out Wednesday night's game because of a left ankle injury, according to the AP. O'Neal said that he expects to play on Friday. "The medical staff just didn't think if I played today that I would be able to play on Friday. I had surgery seven years ago, and I had a bone spur taken out, so any time I tweak my ankle, it's bone-on-bone," O'Neal said. "So I get bone bruises a little bit, but I'll be ready to play on Friday." |
| November 7, 2006 Jermaine O'Neal slightly sprained his left ankle in the third quarter of Tuesday's win over Philadelphia, though he doesn't expect the injury to keep him out from Wednesday's game with Washington, the AP reports.

"Jermaine's name is going to come up all summer," team president Larry Bird. "There's not one time we ever called anybody and said, 'Hey, are you interested in Jermaine O'Neal?' Jermaine O'Neal is the best player on this team. Everybody on this team knows Jermaine is our guy. Are we looking to trade Jermaine? No." |
| May 5, 2006 Though the Pacers have said they have no intention of trading Jermaine ONeal this summer, O'Neal sounded like it was still a possibility. "I'm 27 years old and I feel like I'm one of the best in the league," he told the Indianapolis Star. "So if I'm here, I'm here. If I'm not, I'm not. It's just the way it is. I feel like I'm going to make somebody's team -- if it's not the Indiana Pacers, it will be somebody else -- I'll make them a lot better." |

| April 7, 2006 Jermaine ONeal claims that his left groin, which isn't completely healed, is affecting his performance at the free-throw line, according to the Indianapolis Star. "I'm not really getting a rhythm out there," he said. "I'm out there trying different ways to shoot. Instead of going all the way down, I only go halfway down and I struggle with that. It's an issue where I have to get into the gym and find a way to make them." |

| March 22, 2006 Jermaine ONeal, who has missed the last 24 games with a groin tear, returned to action Wednesday night against the Bulls, according to the AP.

| March 17, 2006 Jermaine O'Neal practiced Thursday for the first time since tearing his left groin, according to the Indianapolis Star.

But as for the injury, I'm moving pretty well." |

| January 26, 2006 Jermaine O'Neal is expected to miss at least eight weeks with a left groin tear, according to the AP.

The Pacers don't expect the injury to require surgery. |
| January 26, 2006 Jermaine ONeal could miss two weeks of action with his injured left groin, according to the Indianapolis Star. "It's not feeling too good. I'm hoping it won't keep me out too long," O'Neal said in a phone interview. "The timing of this couldn't be any worse, especially with (Peja) Stojakovic coming. We need everybody so that we can start jelling. I can't be there to help the chemistry and help this team." |
| January 25, 2006 Jermaine ONeal may have torn a groin muscle in the fourth quarter Tuesday night, according to the AP. "I'm really, really concerned. I heard it pop.
