Pacers forward Jermaine O'Neal would love some extra rest to heal his numerous injuries, but he doesn't want to disrespect the league by sitting out the All-Star game and will play tommorrow, reports the Indianapolis Star. O'Neal has been battling problems with his foot, hand, knee and hip and was quoted as saying, "Mentally I'm OK. Physically, I'm a little worn down."

When not plagued by injuries or suspensions this season, O'Neal has been his usual self putting up 25.5 points, 9.1 rebounds, and 2.2 blocks per game. Until the multitude of injuries force him to miss significant time, fantasy teams with O'Neal should enjoy his contribution.
