Yao left game with injury to left foot

[Double-Up]

He's done...

[Iceman101]

Dub. He has been done for quite some time now

[Iceman101]

Maybe the Handcuffs are finally coming off this franchise

[DeadlyDynasty]

What happened? didn't see it..

[Iceman101]

Strained tendon in foot

I missed it but they say it's a tendon strain whatever the that is.

[DeadlyDynasty]

Yeah he should probably hang it up...sorry to hear though

[duncan228]

Wow. I guess he's never going to be able recover fully and stay healthy. Too bad.

[Iceman101]

If he were to retire now, does he still count against the cap?

[Iceman101]

I love Scola

[sefant77]

Rockets throwing their cap space next season after Chandler

[jacobdrj]

Sucks. ing sucks...
Stupid Chinese National Team...

[LkrFan]

I feel bad for Yao. He is a good player. I hope this is only a minor setback.

These Washington announcers are very unbiased, nice to listen to

[Iceman101]

#1 pick here we come

I think for a year or two. The NBA changed the rule after the Spurs used a retirement exception for Sean Elliott to sign Samaki Walker in 1999-2000, and then brought Elliott back later in the season after his kidney transplant.

Strained tendon in foot

Damn...just when they were talking about amping up his playing time...all jokes aside, Yao doesn't deserve this string of bad luck he's had...hope it's minor

what is this? Does stern want a future in china? Rockets demands instant cap relief

Yao DOES NOT leave game with foot injury. Nothing is wrong with either foot for Yao. It's a strained tendon in his leg and he can return for the game (but probably won't).

[slick'81]

yeah heard it was leg not foot seems minor neway dudes not gonna retire over a strain

[Obstructed_View]

Did Manu step under him? I bet he did.

Yup, b/c it's clearly on video
