Shaq misses fifth straight game

CLEVELAND (AP) Cavaliers center Shaquille O'Neal is out for Saturday's game against Philadelphia, the fifth straight game he has missed with a shoulder injury.

O'Neal hasn't played since a Nov. 12 win over Miami.

Cavs coach Mike Brown said before Saturday's game against Philadelphia that O'Neal won't play in a game again until he practices. The team is off Sunday and doesn't play again until Nov. 25 at Detroit. (MORE)
