Yao has ligament damage in elbow
Yao was diagnosed with a hyperextended elbow until an MRI revealed the magnitude of the injury. His status for the season opener on November 2 versus defending champion Detroit is in doubt.
The 24-year-old All-Star was kept out of Houston's final preseason game against the Denver Nuggets on Thursday night. Yao injured the elbow versus the San Antonio Spurs on Wednesday night when he got tangled up under the basket.
He averaged 17.5 points and 9.0 rebounds in 82 games last season.
For being such a softie, he has a knack for injuring stars on competing teams -- first Kobe, now Yao.
