Yao out 6 weeks with broken bone in knee

While the title says "bone bruise" if you click the "read" the updated article describes the injury as a "non-displaced fracture."

The best thing the Suns can do this reg season is survive it healthy.

ESPN is reporting he broke a bone in his knee

Man. He was having a great season. He always seems to get hurt and miss a lot of time each season.

Broken bone in the knee??

Yow.... No pun intended.

All of the giant, immobile centers in the league have trouble with their legs. Shawn Bradley, Georghe Muresan, Yao, Manute Bol, Ilgauskas, etc. all have had recurring leg or foot issues.

 

[boisesuns]

It was actually Tim Thomas that fell into him and broke it.

 

[Goldfield]

Sucks, hope we can stay healthy...

 

[D-Dogg]

Holy crap that sounds painful.

Poor Houston...if healthy, that is an incredibly dangerous team. But they can't stay healthy.

If Yao comes back on schedule, he'll be ready to play right around the all-star break. 6 weeks is probably the best case prognosis though. There's a decent chance that Amare could replace him as the starting center at the all-star game.

He may replace him due to injury - but there isn't a chance in hell he would stop getting votes due to inactivity and forfeit his lead. (they have to fix the voting as it currently is - what a joke).

Blah, both Yao and Nenad Krstic (out for season) were on my work fantasy league. There goes my starting center rotation...

Good thing I had traded him for AMARE in my fantasy league
