    Hope he's gonna be ok
    he needed the rest badly

    although it's bad for the fans...but it's safe to sit out on the Lakers game so his injury will not get worse

    he sprained his left knee

    it sounds like the same injury as Vince Carter
    hope it won't affect his career

    lucky the team doctor said he doesn't need to be X-rayed

    How do you get a strain from a bump? Doesn't sound nearly as serious as Carter. Besides, Carter is a leaper. That is not Ming's game. If he is not in the hospital, no MRI, no X-Rays, no problem.

    He just wanted to get back to his video game at home. :D

    Seriously, I hope he's back by next game.

    Thanks for the info! Not being able to watch the game or live in Houston I was really wondering to what extent the injury was. Hopefully it is what is reported, not too serious!

    hoping it would be a 2 week injury. give yao time to rest his lower body and lift weights upperbody. then all-star break he could miss and be physically rested and ready for the nba for the first time this season after break and dominate

    Not to stir up any controversy or anything :rolleyes: but maybe the injury is because of the weight Yao's put on so quickly? Maybe the trainers are to blame?

    I hope you're not refering to the "Dream syndrome". ;) Yao is almost 21!

    You can't say that from the picture. What they do is, they put an ice pack and start driving antiinflamatories with the ionophoresis (the machine that you see). The goal is to keep down inflamation. Nothing can be said about structural damage without X-ray or NMR.

    Yao's big toe is huge.

    Back to the topic, the injury is not a big deal at all. He was taken out for precautionary reasons.
