Leonard Armato, the agent for Shaquille O’Neal, denied a report that he has sent a letter to the NBA saying O’Neal would refuse to play for the Minnesota Timberwolves.
“The report is completely inaccurate,” the Century City-based agent said. “The Timberwolves don’t even have his rights, so why would we send such a letter?”
The Orlando Sentinel reported Saturday that Armato had sent a letter to the NBA and the Timberwolves saying O’Neal is prepared to sit out the season if drafted by Minnesota.
A sports agent who spoke on condition of anonymity was the source for the story.
