Let the wait begin.
Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo Sports first reported news that Rockets' center Yao Ming could miss the enitre 2009-2010 season if not longer.
Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle has provided more information and written "Yao could miss entire season with foot injury".
Dr. Tom Clanton, Rockets' team physician, says the injury "has the potential for him missing this next season and could be career threatening".
Last Wednesday night, the Rockets sent a press release stating the hairline fracture in Yao's left foot was not healing as expected.
Yao is expected to see more foot specialists before the Rockets make any official statements regarding Yao's future.
"We are not going to comment until we have all the facts," Daryl Morey, Rockets' GM said.
This news is definitely dire news for Yao, the organization, Yao's fans and the Rockets' fans.

BUT, when he leaves the Rockets due to this injury, will it remain injured in China?? Rockets need to cut these injured guys loose and go with these young guns that carried them to the end.
