Rockets center Yao Ming will have surgery on his broken left foot next week and will likely miss all of next season. The team said Friday that there is no timetable set for the return of the 7-foot-6-inch Yao, a seven-time All-Star, but that he is "expected to be available for the team's training camp in 2010." Yao, 28, chose a surgery that will involve a bone graft to promote bone regeneration. He's also hoping to reduce the arch in the foot by realigning and restructuring the bones. "This surgery will allow me to continue my career playing basketball and I look forward to returning to the court," Yao said in a statement.
