In Minnesota, at the Lakers' team hotel.
Inside a suite, Phil Jackson was organizing materials for the night's game.
"Phil, it's time for us to go."
Lambis said as he pushed the door open and came in.
Jackson nodded. While stuffing tactical diagrams and statistical data into his bag, he asked, "By the way, it's been over ten hours. Any news from Phoenix?"
Lambis shook his head in frustration.
Last night, O'Neal was unexpectedly injured.
The news they received was that the entire Phoenix Suns team had returned to Phoenix overnight.
They surely did this so O'Neal could receive Chen Yu's treatment as soon as possible.
But as for what happened next, how severe the injury was, or whether he was out for the season, no reporters had broken the news yet.
"I have a feeling it's not a light injury. After all, he carries so much weight," Lambis reasoned.
Even an ordinary person would have a hard time after twisting an ankle on a landing, let alone the 350-pound O'Neal.
