Yao Ming Is Out!
I'm surprised nobody else have posted this: http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/story?id=4285514
HOUSTON -- Yao Ming's broken foot is not healed and the Houston Rockets say the All-Star center is out indefinitely.
Yao suffered a hairline fracture in his left foot in the Rockets' second-round playoff loss to the Lakers on May 8. The team initially said Yao would miss eight to 12 weeks, but team doctor Tom Clanton examined Yao's foot in Houston on Wednesday and said the injury has not responded to the treatment program.
A bone scan conducted Wednesday night revealed the fracture had not healed. The team now says no timeline is set for Yao's return to basketball activities, though Clanton said Yao is experiencing no pain in his foot.
Very tough blow for the Rockets.

Makes you wonder if it's even gonna heal properly, when you think about how injury prone he's been in the past.....Tom Brady had the same thing happen (initially his ankle/foot wasn't responding to the treatment program), but it all worked out for him. He's still got four months to get it fixed, and rest though.

Yao's got 4 months to let it heal before the season starts. I think all is not loss for the Rockets. Time is on their side. Not unless it does'nt heal when the season starts then their in trouble.

Yao has always had foot problems
when they have to hold up a 7' 6" body feet tend to get injured.

Yep, plenty of time. They just don't have an exact timetable right now.

Yea I have a feeling that he will be back by the time the season starts.
The team now says no timeline is set for Yao's return to basketball activities, though Clanton said Yao is experiencing no pain in his foot.
That right there makes me think he will be back before the season even starts.

I hate seeing players get hurt and struggle to recover, I wish the best of luck to Yao on recovering. It would be cool to see him back before the season starts.
