Shaquille O'Neal has yet to make his debut with the Phoenix Suns, and he most likely won't on Wednesday either. Apparently, he's learning the offense and trying to get in shape. So when in the world will he actually take the floor for his new team?

The Arizona Republic is reporting that Shaq should make his Suns debut tonight vs. the Lakers.

Not bad for a first game back - even though the Suns lost.

O’Neal scored nine of his 15 points in the final quarter and grabbed nine rebounds in 29 minutes against his old team in his first game in nearly a month.

Tonight, they host the Celtics. Who'll try to guard him, Garnett? Should be a great game.

they looked great tonight against boston. beat em pretty convincingly. shaq showin he can still dominate a little and he even hit a couple free-throws. and they got bill walton pissed off

I'll tell ya what, O'Neal's showing that he has more left in the tank than I thought. Looks like he can still contribute after all.

Yep, thought it all along...if the big guy with the +330 pound body gets it into his head that he wants to go out a winner...He will give it a good run in the playoffs...

he had 14 rebounds against the Celtics.

Shaq doesn't need to score to be effective, Opponents have to put a body on him which frees up Stoudamire.

Shaq had some monster dunks in this game, pretty weird seeing him in a suns jersey

dont even mention stousemire. he been playin like a beast lately. wit shaq there, stoudemire is basically the biggest power foreward in the game. averaging 30 points a game over the last 2 weeks. garnett was messin with him at the beginning but they were able to draw alotta fouls. and shaq didnt slow em down at all. matter of fact, they got more fast break points with shaq

That's the thing about Shaq. If he wants to, he will be dominant. And what everybody was saying about him when he got traded pissed him off so much it motivated him. He looks great, lean and mean.

Yep and if he wants to dominate, the other team has to put bodies on him, which opens Stoudemire.

Yeah, I was skeptical when they made the deal, and sure enough, Shaq's pretty much been a bust for Phoenix.
