Shaq mysteriously wasn’t on TV screens for Sunday’s edition of Inside the NBA for the Nuggets-Timberwolves matchup.

Instead, NBA legend Vince Carter took his place at the desk alongside Kenny Smith, Ernie Johnson, and Charles Barkley.

Shaq gave no reasoning for his disappearance, and simply didn’t appear on the show.

Carter serves as a part-time analyst for Brooklyn Nets games after serving as an analyst for ESPN.

He has made multiple appearances on NBA on TNT this year filling in for the likes of Shaq and Barkley.

While Carter has spent time on set, fans were still questioning why Shaq wasn’t available.

“Shaq taking all this time off man,” one fan said.

“Ayo yall notice Shaq is not on Inside the NBA tonight wassup with that,” another fan said.

‘Bro thinks he’s on the team,’ say First Take fans as Stephen A. Smith arrives to Knicks-Pacers game seven in style
“Where’s Shaq?” a third fan said.

“Why is Shaq missing again?” a fourth fan said.

There is no word whether or not Shaq will be back on Inside the NBA for the Conference Finals.
