O’Neal told TMZ Sports he “felt funny” during team workouts this summer so UCLA’s doctors made him wear a heart monitor so he could push a button whenever he wanted to alert them. He said he pressed the button during one summer practice and doctors later discovered the heart ailment that will force him to miss the upcoming season.
He said he expects to return after a medical redshirt season in 2018-19.
O’Neal had originally committed to Arizona but switched to UCLA following an ESPN report linking Sean Miller to a pay-for-play arrangement involving Deandre Ayton.
Shaq’s son will still be a legend, we’ll just have to wait a year to see him. In the meantime check out his mixtape below:
