ESPN.com wrote:KRIV-TV in Houston and The Houston Chronicle are reporting that Yao has a stress fracture in his left foot and the Rockets are expected to announce he will have season-ending surgery later Tuesday.
Houston, currently on a 12-game winning streak, is in fourth place in the Southwest Division. The streak followed a loss in the one game that Yao has missed all season.
Yao is averaging 22.0 points and 10.8 rebounds in 55 games this season.

Really big guy with a really big frame. He is bound to have problems with his wheels the rest of his life. Tough break for the Rockets again. T-Mac is playing better since he came back this last time but he is very injury prone as well...as we are all VERY aware of. It's not likely he will finish the season either given his history. At least their newbies will be gettings lots of playing time.

I love how all news about Houston makes it here.
We're not all still thinking about Tmac or anything.

He needs to get out of the first round before anything.

Wow, what a blow. Put a fork in them because they are done now. I have to admit that this news makes me a little happy that Tmac won't advance farther in the playoffs before we do though. No knock on Yao however, I wish him well. He's a great player with an attitude to match. The Houston board must be in hysterics today.

He doesn't post on this forum anymore. He's a poster elsewhere now: same place Lucky and I went to as well (Lucky is still there).
