    Rockets center Yao Ming turned an ankle during Wednesday's practice, but it was not a source of concern.

    The incident was with his right ankle, not on the surgically repaired left side. And he tested the ankle for a few minutes without problem before the decision was made to hold him out of the remaining scrimmages as a precaution.

    "It's not bad," Yao said. "I'll be back tomorrow. It happens. I step on people's foot."

    Yao could practice today, but coach Rick Adelman intends to give him a day off in Austin this week to get him for more time in the next day's workouts.
