Yao Ming Out for the Season with Stress Fracture in Left Foot
READ MORE:
Cue the crippling Tracy McGrady back injury, he's up next.

Here's why you don't pick the Houston Rockets to win at the start of each season. Either Yao Ming or Tracy McGrady are bound to be hampered by injuries.

In 2005-2006, Yao suffered from osteomyelitis in his big toe that kept him out for some time and then a broken bone in his left foot that kept him out the remainder of the season and hindered his early 2007 campaign.

2006-2007 brought a fractured tibia that forced him to miss two months of action.  He was having another great season, but the injury clearly disrupted his progress and left the Rockets in a bad situation come playoffs.

Now this. It's unfortunate, I really like Yao when he's healthy, but the Rockets can no longer bank on their stars making it through a season healthy. I realize this could be viewed as a big overreaction, but I'd start looking to rebuild with a more reliable center and wing.

Well now we know what team will be left out of the Western playoffs.  I'm guessing theres a lot of relieved teams right now.  Nobody would want to face an inside-outside combo of Yao and T-Mac in the first round.

Well is he shutting it down for the Olympics?

 

China will be pissed if Yao's not available. I mean if Yi having trouble getting off the pine in the land of the good earth then that is not going to get far.

Lastly, when will we finally learn that T-Mac parents are actually fragile porcelain mice?

It's just that Jay Leno took shots at Yao during Wed. evening of the Tonight Show. That was a cheap shot. By the way, the writers are still on strike. We really don't miss the writers, do we?
