Another Career Cut short

Xu Yong, probably the best draft prospect out of China sice Yao, was diagnosed with bone cancer. It has ended his career and possibly take his life. My hopes to you, Xu.

I am not a cancer expert or a doctor, but from what I've heard through past experiences, blood* cancer is very very difficult to cure. I've never heard of this guy but I hope he beats this thing.

*edit: meant bone cancer

It's good that he has bone cancer then.

Jonathan Bender part deuce. Except, we won't even have a chance to see him play. Heard this guy has massive amounts of talent. Best wishes to him

Honestly, I'd never heard of him before, but it's always sad to see something like this happens. Best of wishes Xu!

If anyone cares, Xu Yong is doing just fine, the reports of the cancer was a false alarm, it was discovered to be nothing more than a cyst. They say he'll be perfectly ready for the Olympics.

People say he has the ability of Grant Hill (in his prime).

Thank God it was only a cyst. My heart always sinks when I hear someone has cancer.

Is he the PG that took Sun Yue's starting spot on the Chineese national team?
