UCLA’s Shareef O’Neal to miss season with heart ailmentBy BETH HARRIS

LOS ANGELES (AP) UCLA freshman Shareef O’Neal will sit out the entire upcoming basketball season because of a heart condition that the son of Hall of Famer Shaquille O’Neal says is ”risky.”

The younger O’Neal didn’t specify the condition in a TMZ Sports video , saying only that ”I know it’s something serious and it’s risky.”

O’Neal said he will attend classes and take a medical redshirt. He’s expected to be sidelined for three to four months after undergoing surgery.

UCLA said in a statement Friday that it will support O’Neal as he gets the issue resolved. The school said only that he was being sidelined for a medical reason and a spokesman declined to provide further details.
