If there's one, conclusive thing we learned about Yao, it's that there was simply no avoiding his bone fractures.
He has a sore knee I believe, ever since that injury he hasn't been moving as fast as we're accustomed to.
He's 23. If there is anytime to play games like this for your team its now. Fellas get paid like no other, they aren't complaining about having to play 37 + minutes so why are the fans? Citing Yao is ridiculous, you are talking about a 7'6" Center with a chronic history of problems like these.
He was suppose to be a game-time decision and ended up playing almost the whole game just to beat an injury riddled Wolves team....smh
But I do think sooner rather than later, he needs to begin eating and training like old man Kobe and Duncan. Incorporating swimming and pilates He might lose some mass and ability to bang, but it will be necessary.
Hope he gets better soon. We can't afford any injuries. Is it true that he has a bony spur in his ankle?
