i was wondering somethign too...if the NBA did grant this exception to the rockets, that means they convninced the NBA that Yao will probably miss the whole season or was it granted that he will miss most of the season?...if Yao does return this season, does the NBA have any recourse against the rockets...why doesn't every team do this in the offseason if they lose a player....
injured player still counted against your roster unless you had more than 3 injured players then you can get nba approval for adding an additional player 1. Yao 2. T-Mac 3. Scola 4. Battier 5. Ariza 6. Brooks 7. Lowry 8. Landry 9. Hayes 10. Barry 11. Dorsey 12. White 13. Cook without contract yet 14. Andersen 15. Taylor 16. Budinger just waived Cook then we are set
