HOUSTON (AP) -Houston Rockets center Yao Ming says he’s encouraged by the progress of his recover from surgery to repair fractures in his left foot.
But in an interview with KRIV-TV in Houston, the 7-foot-6 center says there’s no chance that he’ll play in the 2009-10 NBA season.
Yao suffered the hairline fracture late in a May 8 playoff game against the Los Angeles Lakers. The injury had raised questions, especially in his native China, about Yao’s playing future.
But in his interview Wednesday, he says he expects new life to his career and will play again.
Yao had the hard cast removed from his left leg on Friday, and his leg and foot were placed in an orthopedic boot. He says images show the bones are healing properly.
