Ming, 30, will miss the rest of the season because of a stress fracture in his left ankle. The Rockets announced the decision Friday, Dec. 17, 2010, a day after the injury was found in an MRI exam. Team physician Walter Lowe said surgery is the usual treatment for such an injury, which has sidelined Yao since Nov. 10. (AP Photo/Dave Einsel, File)
