Yao undergoes toe surgery

 
01.30.2006
Houston, TX (Basketball News) - Houston Rockets center Yao Ming started Monday’s game against Memphis, returning to the lineup six weeks after undergoing surgery on his left big toe.

The procedure cleaned out an infection in Yao’s toe after the 7-foot-6 center was diagnosed with osteomyelitis, a common inflammation of the bone caused by bacteria.

Yao took antibiotics for several weeks to help the infection heal properly.

A three-time All-Star, Yao is averaging a career high 19.9 points and 9.0 rebounds per game this season.
