[INJURED] Yao to Miss at Least Six Weeks with Non-Displaced Fracture of Right Tibia

WTF does this injury has anything to do with CNT? They showed nothing but support to Yao's recovery, at least this year. They have the right to ask Yao to play Asian cup and didn't. It is depressing, but do not go over your head.

 

Link???Damn it no!!

 

Ask a friend at the hospital and he says that no info has been release to public or media. It's all freaking speculation! .

It's official it's fractured and he says he could be out 6 to 8 weeks, and he say's it depends on how he will rehabilitated.

 

Merry ****ing Christmas.

 

Chron says:
Yao out six weeks.

 

Yeah, that sucks. But enough about that, let's talk about his girlfriend.

Source?

 

There probably goes our season.

There also goes JVG. No free pass this time around.

 

Damn. I love basketball but it was painful to watch this game and last season. This team without McGrady and Yao just is flat out horrible which is no surprise. Without Yao, the Rockets should play a up tempo style because they have no half court game no more. Bring in Justin Williams from the NBDL.

 

Here is the source

 

He works for SR610.

 

F**k

This sucks

 

Oh my.....

 

If this is only a tibial fracture, it's much better than any torn ligament or menicus. Yao will be fine. Time for JVG to develop our bench players

Rockets lose to Clippers after Yao hurt

Yao Ming hit the floor, and the Rockets seemed certain to crash, too. For most of the night, they refused.

Moments after Yao was carried off the court in screaming pain with a leg injury, they opened up a lead. As he was taken to Memorial Hermann for an MRI, they pushed the lead to 11 and held off the Los Angeles Clippers through the second half.

(Yao was diagnosed late Saturday with a non-displaced fracture in his right tibia. He will be out at least six weeks.)

Early in the fourth quarter, they were still tied, until finally, with Yao in the hospital and Tracy McGrady missing his seventh game because of back spasms, the Rockets broke down, too, with the Clippers rolling through the second half to take a 98-93 win Saturday before 18,246 at Toyota Center.

On a night in which the Rockets' season seemed to be rolling on the floor, shouting in pain, the Rockets defense eventually broke down, too.

But just as the Rockets were uncertain while they waited for the results of Yao's knee exam, the game too somehow also remained uncertain.

The Clippers led by 14 with three minutes left and by 13 with less that two minutes remaining. But Luther Head hit a 3-pointer, Rafer Alston slipped in a drive and with 41.9 seconds left, Head made 2 of 3 free throws to cut the lead to 95-89.

The Clippers' Shaun Livingston turned the ball over against the Rockets press with Alston scoring on another drive, reducing the lead to 95-91 with 31.4 seconds remaining.

But Clippers guard Daniel Ewing was fouled and made both free throws to take the lead back to six with 25.1 seconds remaining. After a pair of Alston free throws, Ewing made two more to ice it.

Without Yao, the Rockets took their lead to as much as 11 and were still tied, 71-71, minutes into the fourth quarter after a Head three-point play.

But the Clippers had used their size in 6-foot-8 Livingston, 6-6 Corey Maggette and 6-4 Cuttino Mobley to repeatedly post up the small Rockets backcourt and score consistently inside.

When the Rockets send double-team help, Tim Thomas nailed a 3 with 7:37 left for a five-point lead. When they didn't, Elton Brand scored over Chuck Hayes for an 81-74 Los Angeles lead.

The Clippers pushed the lead to nine a minute later when Livingston was fouled inside and made both free throws.

The Rockets briefly cut the lead to six on a Shane Battier 3-pointer. But the Rockets missed their next six shots as the Clippers scored with increasing ease, with the Rockets no longer able to hold off the breakdown that seemed inevitable much earlier.


The Rockets led, 14-12, when Yao went out not quite halfway into the first quarter.

With McGrady already limited to a pregame workout, the bulk of the Rockets offense seemed in the training room.

Then the Rockets surged.

Battier brought more scoring than he has since the Rockets brought him in. He had matched his season-high of 18 points with a drive to a three-point play with 6:58 left in the half. He surpassed it with a running hook before halftime.

Mutombo, who had struggled dramatically on the road trip, played 18 first half minutes, grabbing eight rebounds and blocking four shots. Alston, Head and John Lucas III combined for 17 points, with Head hitting a 3 in the last minute of the half to give the Rockets their largest lead, 48-37.

The Rockets regained their 11-point edge with the first basket of the second half. But that was things began to crater.

The Rockets stopped making the shots they had on Friday and through much of Saturday's first half. While the Clippers went on a 14-3 run to tie the game, 53-53, the Rockets made 1 of 9 shots. They also no longer could do much to slow the Clippers.

While the Rockets began misfiring, the Clippers were hitting shots because they needed to only take the kinds of shots they could hardly miss.

The Clippers made 12 of 16 shots in the third quarter, taking a 69-67 lead. The Rockets made just 7 of their 21 shots in the quarter.

With that, the Rockets had gone from holding a surprising lead through much of the first half to barely hanging on while waiting for test results from Memorial Hermann.

 

I guess Yao being out for "only" 6 weeks this is somehwhat goodnews.

It could have been worse.

 

That is not true. God.

All my best wishes to Yao.

 

Its not "only" 6 weeks...its "atleast"
