BOSTON, April 16 (UPI) -- Boston center Shaquille O'Neal will miss the first game of the Celtics' first-round playoff series with a strained right calf, the team said Saturday.
Team President Danny Ainge told reporters O'Neal wasn't able to complete a running test Saturday during a practice session in advance of Sunday's Game 1 of the Eastern Conference quarterfinals against the New York Knicks.
