Rockets' Yao Ming reportedly may miss 2009-10 season
Rockets center Yao Ming's broken left foot could be a "career-threatening" injury.
The Associated Press
HOUSTON — Rockets center Yao Ming's broken left foot could be a "career-threatening" injury.
Dr. Tom Clanton, the Houston Rockets' team physician, told the Houston Chronicle on Monday that Yao's injury "has the potential for him missing this next season and could be career-threatening."
Yahoo! Sports first reported the Rockets and Yao's representatives were concerned the 7-foot-6 All-Star would never play again. Yahoo! Sports quoted "multiple league executives, officials close to Yao and two doctors with knowledge of the diagnoses."
Yao suffered a hairline fracture of the tarsal navicular bone late in a May 8 playoff game against the Los Angeles Lakers. The team said last week the injury hasn't healed and he was out indefinitely.
Two days later, Yao said he didn't believe the injury was as serious as any of his previous ones. The Rockets said he would miss only 8-12 weeks.
But last week, the team said Yao would undergo additional tests and consult with other doctors to map out a new course of treatment.
