The foot surgery that Yao Ming had a couple months ago seems to have helped things to a certain extent. He says that the bones are healing as hoped and that this is good for the long-term for him. Meanwhile, for the short term, he says that he will not, absolutely not, play during 2009-2010. He will be at most of the Rockets’ games on the sidelines, so that he can keep his mind in the game. But he’s going to have to stay off that foot in a lot of ways. It’s too bad for the Rockets, because it’s starting to look like the lost season for them. They would have loved to play Yao, but they know that they can’t rush the healing again, because they ran into big problems with that last time around. So he’s going to take his time and he realizes that his style of playing might change permanently too.
