After toe surgery, Yao looks to return (AP) Updated: 2006-01-06 14:21
HOUSTON - Houston center Yao Ming has begun light workouts and said he
expects to return to action in two to three weeks after surgery on an infected
big toe.
Yao said the Dec. 19 surgery on his left foot relieved
tremendous pain, but also said the prospect of surgery made him nervous about
hurting his career.
"My toe before the surgery hurt me every time I step on the floor,
particularly with the basketball shoes and the tape on my ankle," Yao told
Houston television station KRIV.
Yao is now getting antibiotics via an IV in his left arm, and doctors plan to
remove the IV in about a week, he said
