Yao out for remainder of postseason
Eds: APNewsNow.
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.
