Rockets general manager Daryl Morey discussed the state of the team recently and touched on the health of center Yao Ming.

"I don't know," Morey said of what kind of minutes Yao could handle next season.

"I think for sure by playoff time we think he can be 100 percent back, which is the most important time, obviously. He can be back to where he was last year when he was playing at a high level. What his exact ramp-up will be, I don't think anybody knows exactly how that will happen."

Morey added that Yao is on schedule in his rehabilitation.
