Stress fracture in his ankle per SportsRadio 610...

Good. Time to move on.

I hope Morey is planning a big trade, and hopefully for a center, because we wont have a chance to get a decent center in the draft until at least 2013.

**Heavy Sigh** Even though I expected this, still feels like it's a shot to the gut..... Oh well time for Morey to make this his team..... need to find a star... feel like we have a lot of roleplayers with no star.... Martin is a scorer but disappears a lot and plays no defense.... Scola is about as close to a star that we have.

rockets fans, yao and your team has been done since you signed him. the guy is the most overrated player in all of sports!

Dont feed the troll

That's a shame but maybe there will be some closure - we've seen this coming for a while now. Also should buy Morey another couple years of low expectations

Not sure what good centers are out there on the trading block.

Not saying there aren't any, I just don't know. Emeka Okafor if you want that contract, and maybe if the Nuggets decide to strip the team down you could get one of those bigs.

One of the best at what he did when he was healthy... Almost unguardable. He will be missed

sad..... he's a nice guy and represented the rockets well around the world

David Robinson was more athletic.

Sucks to see that happen to such a nice guy.

Eat da head

I didn't like that pick to begin with, but really looking back that might've been the worst draft in the last 15 years. Yao and Amare were the only good players to come out of the first round. You can't fault the Rox for taking Yao, but I just never felt great about his obligations to China. I'm convinced that extra wear and tear trying to get China to the olympics is what ultimately did him in.

Yao said in a press conference "I'm drinking some beer and eating fried chicken, I'm not dead, I'm gonna try to come back" LMAO
