"In order for the bone to heal properly, Yao will need to immobilise the foot by wearing a walking boot," Dr. Tom Clanton, the Rockets' team physician, said in a statement on the team's website (www.nba.com/rockets). "He should be able to resume his regular workout routine some time between the next eight to 12 weeks," Clanton added. Yao was originally thought to have sprained his left ankle in an 108-94 loss to the Los Angeles Lakers in game three of their Western Conference semi-finals on Friday. Yao's injury will come as a blow to the Rockets who trail 2-1 in their best-of-seven series. The teams travel to Houston on Sunday for game four. Yao broke the same foot in February 2008 and missed the NBA playoffs last year. He returned to play for China in the Beijing Olympics.
