I’m off to coach a couple basketball games, so I’ll be MIA until my game recap. To tide you over, here are a few tidbits from the morning shoot-around. (Comcast)

1. Shaq will not play tonight, but likely for tomorrow (Phoenix).
2. Marquis Daniels WILL play tonight, and has rejoined the team after missing a few days to handle a family issue.
3. Kendrick Perkins felt soreness after his first basketball game in more than six months, but — phew — not in his knee.
