After foot surgery, Yao could be out 4-6 months
Associated Press
HOUSTON -- Houston Rockets center Yao Ming will have surgery this weekend
on his broken left foot, and the injury could take four to six months to
heal, general manager Carroll Dawson said Tuesday.
The 7-foot-6 Yao was hurt in the first quarter of an 85-83 loss to Utah on
Monday.
An MRI performed in Houston on Tuesday showed a crack in the fifth metatarsal
bone of the foot, Dawson said.
"It can be fixed two ways," Dawson said. "You could just put a cast on it
, but it takes forever. The thing most people do is have the surgery."
It is not known if the surgery will prevent Yao from playing in the world
championships in Japan, which begin Aug. 19.
Yao said he thought he hurt his foot when Utah's Mehmet Okur accidentally
kicked it. Yao limped through a few more minutes and converted a three-point
play before hobbling off the court with 3:51 left in the opening quarter
.
Earlier this season, Yao missed 21 games following surgery to remove an infection
from his left big toe. Since the All-Star break, Yao has been one of the
NBA's top performers, averaging 26.6 points and 12 rebounds.
Eliminated from playoff contention, the Rockets have four games left in their
injury-wracked season, starting Wednesday against Minnesota.
Leading scorer Tracy McGrady has missed 30 games with recurring back problems
. As a whole, Rockets players have missed 258 games to injuries.
