<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Rockets center Yao Ming, out with a fractured tibia, joined the team in Chicago for an examination by Bulls head team physician Brian Cole. Cole, a specialist in tibial plateau injuries, confirmed the Rockets' diagnosis and timetable, saying it would be eight weeks from the date of the injury (Dec. 23) before Yao could begin "active rehab." The Rockets originally said it would be a minimum of six weeks, but Rockets athletic trainer Keith Jones said they considered Yao out for "six to eight weeks." Yao has begun riding an exercise bicycle but has not been cleared to begin water workouts. He has been shooting while sitting in a chair. "Active rehab" involves on-court workouts. "I hate to stop and hate to rehab," Yao said. "I'm tired of that in the last two years. I know I can get back in very good, great shape. I know that's very, very hard. I know I can do that, but it's very, very hard." Yao said he was unsure if he would be back for the Feb. 18 All-Star Game but "didn't want to rush it."</div> Source
I don't want him to waste his time at the ASG. This is crap. Should Yao trust the Bulls head team Physician? JK. I want Yao to fully recover. BTW the Yao Ming banner is badass.
