Yao finally back at practice
Basketball Betting Lines
08/24/2010 -
Houston, TX (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Houston Rockets center Yao Ming returned to
the court for a workout at the Toyota Center on Tuesday, one day after Rockets
consulting physician Dr. Tom Clanton declared his surgically repaired foot has
fully healed.
Yao missed the entire 2009-10 season after undergoing reconstructive surgery
on his left foot, a result of an injury he suffered in Game 3 of the second
round of the 2009 Western Conference playoffs against the eventual champion
Lakers.
"He looks like his old self. He's still got a ways to go on his
[conditioning], but it's just good to see him out there," Rockets general
manager Daryl Morey said of his franchise center. "We're going to be
precautionary...We're going to manage him, especially early and limit his
minutes based on what the doctors tell us to do."
The top pick in the 2002 draft, Yao has career averages of 19.1 points, 9.3
rebounds and 1.9 blocks in 481 games -- 471 starts -- over seven seasons with
the Rockets. He has been named an All Star in each of his healthy campaigns.
"I'm excited. I ate a cheeseburger to celebrate," joked Yao, who is scheduled
the make $17.69 million next season. "But I'm really, really not in good shape
right now, so I'm a little bit away from game shape. The good news is we have
one month until training camp and two months until the season...I'm just
looking forward to playing a great season in 2010-2011 and I think I can count
on my foot now."
