HOUSTON (AP) - Yao Ming is out for the rest of the playoffs with a broken left foot.


The Houston center limped off the court late in the Los Angeles Lakers' 108-94 victory over the Rockets on Friday night. Yao missed Saturday's practice to get treatment and the team said the 7-foot-6 All-Star would be re-evaluated on Sunday.
But the Rockets announced later Saturday night that further examination of Yao's injury revealed a hairline fracture. The Rockets say Yao will need 8-12 weeks to recover, though no surgery is required. The Rockets and Lakers play Game 4 of their Western Conference semifinal series on Sunday. The Lakers lead the series 2-1.

Yao sure seems injury prone.

With a guy that big, basketball must put a huge amount of stress on the bones in his foot.

Lucky "break" for the F'n Lakers.

hou already lacked size without yao, look for gasol, odom, and bynum to wear down the short handed front line. plus artest will probably get annoyed by the teams struggles and get ejected

...completely collapse.

T-mac OUT, Yao OUT. There's 40% of the starters right there. Yeeesh...

Terrible news for the Rockets. Really no Big man left.

Good point about Artest. He will likely have a meltdown.

Let's see Kobe elbow him now..

Option 3 -- Give the bookies, the contrarions, and those who answered YES in the "Are Pro Sports Fixed?" Poll a glorious Mother's Day.

 

[gynecologist]

How many points will the Lakers win game 5 by?

 

[ScottL]

One point less than the closing line is my guess.
