Yao Ming admitted on Wednesday that he won't play in the 2009-10 season due to surgery to repair a hairline fracture in his left foot.
"The (X-ray) picture looks good. The bones heal well," Yao said. But when asked if he'd play this season, the news wasn't positive. "The answer is no. You don’t want to rush it, because they want it to totally heal this time. I have been in this situation enough," he said. Yao has also hinted that he's going to have to "slow down" in order to prolong his career. Luis Scola should have a big season in Yao's absence.
