Former NBA basketball player Shaquille O’Neal worried his fans by posting on social media a photo of him lying in a hospital bed with an intravenous line in his arm in an apparently lamentable health situation.
In the text accompanying the Twitter image, O’Neal tagged two of his co-hosts of the show he works on on the TNT cable network, Candace Parker and Ernie Johnson, and wrote that he is “always watching them.”
“I miss you all,” he added in the post this Sunday, March 19.
Why was he in the hospital? According to TMZ Sports, O’Neal is currently recovering from hip surgery he underwent and everything is going ““as planned”.
It is not yet clear when Shaquille will return to the air on TNT, but in statements taken in recent days from his podcast, “The Big Podcast With Shaq”, apparently he would be back on April 16. Or that’s what she would have planned.
