BEIJING, July 18 -- Houston Rockets center Yao Ming has decided 1 to undergo surgery on his broken left foot next week, facing the possibility of missing all of next season.
Chinese Yao, highest in the active NBA players standing 2 at 7-foot-6, chose a surgery that will involve a bone graft 3 to promote bone regeneration, the team said.
The surgery, which will be performed next week by Rockets team physician Tom Clanton, will also perform a surgical 4 procedure designed to reduce the arch in Yao's left foot by realigning and restructuring the bones in the foot.
Soundbite: Zhang Mingji, Yao's representative "After the consultation 5, Yao has relaxed a lot. We are confident that Yao will fully 6 recover. He will undergo surgery next week. We hope the audience to see a completely healthy Yao returning to the court next season."
Yao suffered a hairline fracture in the foot in the third game against Lakers in the playoff of the western conference semi on May 8 and the Rockets initially 7 said Yao would miss only 8-12 weeks. When doctors re-examined the injury late in June, they found the injury had not healed and had even got worse.
Yao averaged 19.1 points, 9.3 rebounds 8 and 1.95 blocks per game in his NBA career beginning from 2002-2003 season in Houston.
