He's having surgery on the foot he's now broken twice.
Houston Rockets center Yao Ming has elected to have extensive surgery on his fractured left foot that almost certainly eliminates his chances of playing next season but offers hope that he can resume his NBA career and not fracture the foot a career-ending third time.
After consultation with a battery of doctors, Yao, 28, has decided to undergo a bone graft to heal the existing fracture and have his arch surgically lowered to reduce the stress on his foot.
Wonder how Trevor Ariza feels. He signs on with a team that won't get TMac until February and now won't have Yao at all. Enjoy the lottery.
