yao ming out for season with broken foot

The worst news for the Houston Rockets and their fans... Yao Ming has a broken left foot and will miss the rest of the playoffs. He appeared to be in a lot of pain, limping off the court after the Lakers' 108-94 victory over the Rockets on Friday night. An examination later revealed a hairline fracture. No surgery is required, but he'll need 8-12 weeks to recover. So he's out: Yao (broken foot) out for season. Still, even without Yao, the Rockets managed to take down the Lakers on Sunday to tie the series 2-2: Rockets rip Lakers 99-87 without Yao, even series.
