You have no basis for this claim unless you have the results from the CT scan that the Houston Medical staff most likely failed to take of Yao's injured body part when he first reported the pain on Nov 5. Thats called incompetance. Just because nothing shows up on a x-ray does not mean nothing is wrong. Houston is paying the medical staff millions of dollars worth of man hours to care their 'national treasure'. And all of this could have been prevented if the proper steps had been taken. You can never 'trust' the player since they in most cases lie to you so they can keep playing.

Which could just as easily happened during the summer, or training camp or even earlier. 50 GAMES IN A ROW is what made the stress fracture more severe and is the reason Yao might have to get surgery. If it was caught earlier, Yao could have been back on the court in as little as 3-4 weeks if everything went well.
