Latest news from sina indicates that Yao Ming hurt his ankle when play Korea. He was interviewed in the Beijing airport, and was reported walking real slow. Hope this is not serious!
hopefully its minor, we really need him to spend some practice time on the court with the rest of the guys.

You really should see how Korean played Yao Ming. It was brutal. Often times there were 3 to 4 guys surrounded him, grab him, it was more like football.
Sounds very, very minor. The "injury" is just mentioned off-handedly as something the reporter observed when Yao Ming showed up at the airport... and probably just exaggerates Yao's emotional state + bruises/injuries you'd expect from an international tournament.
