Rockets All-Star center Yao Ming will undergo season-ending surgery on Monday, March 3rd in order to repair a stress fracture in the tarsal navicular bone in his left foot. The surgery will be performed at Memorial Hermann-Texas Medical Center by Rockets Team Physician Tom Clanton, who is regarded as one of the nation’s top orthopedic foot and ankle surgeons.
Injuries have really messed Yao and the Rockets up for years now. It’s tough to say how Yao can ever stop getting hurt, considering how huge he is. Hopefully he can somehow stay healthy eventually.
