Heat's O'Neal sits out with bruised hip (AP) (sports.yahoo.com)

Miami forward Jermaine O'Neal sat out against the Memphis Grizzlies on Monday night with a bruised right hip, something he described as a minor ailment that shouldn't keep him sidelined for long in the Heat's postseason push. O'Neal had been bothered by the hip for several days, starting when he tried to take a charge last week against the Boston Celtics.
