[Chron]Yao listed day-to-day with bone bruise in right foot

I remember I read it from somewhere, about 17% players have a bone bruise.

 

Sounds like theres not much you can do about the injury. Yao just needs to down some ibuprofen before each game.

 

I can't decide whether or not this is good news or bad news. In the short-term, I guess it can be considered good news, if Yao is able to play through the pain in the playoffs. But long-term, it just shows that Yao will always be hit with some sort of injury-bug. I just wish the timing was different...

The life of a Rockets fan...

 

Holy Dr. Scholl's Batman, this is a relief. Could still turn worse than we hope, but this is a good sign.

 

Radical??? I think this is the most likely scenario.

 

Clutch Fans are all doctors and have so much medical experience. Why? Cause we get the most injuries in the league.

 

Like someone else stated in another thread, rest Yao for the Hornets game and bring him back for the Mavericks game. I believe the Rockets can't win Monday against the Hornets, since they will coming off playing the Mavericks the night before.

 

opps "I believe the Rockets can win on Monday"

 

with money...anything can be done within a week....they can cut off someone leg and replace if it they want to...i guess they choose not 2. O well

 

bad news, though it could've been worse.

rest him monday and we go from there. hopefully we have a short and victorious first round and all players have a ton of rest b/w the 1st and 2nd round.

 

what kind of fairy tale do you come from?? I take it your statement was a joke.

 

Jeez, I was kidding. Chris Bosh may be a future Rocket, so I'm just securing the nick until that happens.

 

Dear Lord, so a bone in his foot was damaged, a step below a fracture. It seems as though a bone that is bruised is more vulnerable to a fracture. Does bone heal quick enough that a week of rest will make a difference?

Also, since he's over 300lbs could simply running and jumping cause a fracture in a bone bruise in the foot? Dear God!

 

actually, with chandler not being at full strenghth, The rockets can take care of them easily. 7 blocks for deke. =)

 

rest yao!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Man Yao always having problems every season. I hate that he is so fragile. He should stop taking chinese herbs and just drink 3 glasses of milk a day.

 

yao fragile? nah. few can bang in the post and take the punishment night in and night out. he's 7'6 and 300+ lbs for god's sake.

 

or maybe the fact that he's a large dude and this weight puts a lot of stress on his feet may explain something.

 

okay
n00b question
so bone bruise is NOT serious correct?

 

that's classic!!
