After Shaquille O'Neal sparked widespread concern with a hospital photo, Ernie Johnson offered an important medical update.

If O’Neal is able to get back in the gym by April 16, hopefully that means he can return to the NBA on TNT set in time for the playoffs. Last year, he spoke openly about his work in the gym and his lifestyle changes that led to a noticeable weight loss. And unlike Inside The NBA colleagues Johnson, Charles Barkley, and Kenny Smith, O’Neal doesn’t currently work on the WBD/CBS tournament coverage. O’Neal might have a few weeks of recovery ahead of him, but according to his NBA on TNT colleague, the Basketball Hall of Famer will be all right after recently undergoing hip surgery. However, the Thursday NBA on TNT show is currently off for the NCAA Tournament, and doesn’t return until March 30. O’Neal sent a tweet commending Candace Parker for using one of his favorite phrases, “barbecue chicken,” while covering the NCAA Tournament from WBD Studios in Atlanta alongside Johnson, Jay Wright and Seth Davis.

Los Angeles Lakers legend Shaquille O'Neal underwent hip replacement surgery but is recovering well and joked about the procedure.

Shaquille O’Neal is part of a long line of legendary Lakers centers and the latest addition to that group is current big man Anthony Davis. It’s the best way to watch player interviews, exclusive coverage from events, participate in live shows, and more! In an attempt to ensure Davis’ health, he has not been playing back-to-backs even though he is pain-free after a foot issue earlier in the season. Hopefully the process won’t be too long and Shaq will be back on camera soon continuing to make everyone laugh as only he can. Shaq referring to hip replacement surgery as a BBL is simply something no one else could pull off and is just comical. The bones and muscles supporting O’Neal will eventually wear down and eventually he will need to go under the knife to fix up some things.
