So basically they know it isnt a sprained ankle, but as with T-Mac earlier this year, they dont know anything else either.
yup just confirmed on ABC. it's a "hairline fracture in his left foot." damn, this season cannot get any worse.
Get well big fella! I love you man, thank you for all you have done for us, you are a man and a warrior!
There's no point in keeping Yao. His career is over. He's just going keep getting injured every year. FML.
