Yao ready for season opener
Houston Rockets center Yao Ming expects to play in the season opener and is very excited to be back on the court.
Yao is much more upbeat from just a month or so ago when he said he didn’t know how effective he could be this year.
Doctors have cleared Yao, saying his surgically repaired foot is fully healed, which may have given him a confidence boost.
He said he is less afraid to test his foot than he was a couple of months ago, which is definitely all about having confidence in it.
The Rockets would certainly benefit in a huge way if they can get their best player back on the court.
