Yao to have foot surgery, might miss full season

Rockets center Yao Ming will have surgery on his broken left foot next week and the team said Friday that the seven-time All-Star may not be available until the 2010-11 season. The 7-foot-6 Yao chose a surgery that will involve a bone graft to promote bone regeneration, the team said. He's also hoping to reduce the arch in the foot by realigning and restructuring the bones. The team would not say definitively if Yao would miss all of next season.
