Yao Ming out at least six weeks with knee injury
Yao Ming, the best center in the NBA, and the Houston Rockets best player in 2006 will be out a minimum of six weeks with a fracture to the tibial plateau of his right knee.
The injury occurred at the 6:17 mark of the first quarter during Saturday night's Rockets - Los Angeles Clippers' game. Yao was rolled into by teammate Chuck Hayes. Yao collapsed to the floor clutching his right knee. He was helped off the court; and, the original diagnosis was a bone bruise to his right knee. An MRI was done later and a fracture was noticed in his knee.
Listen to Rockets' athletic trainer Keith Jones discuss the injury:
