Rockets center Yao Ming headed into the locker room during the first half of the Wizards game with a tendon strain in his left foot. The injury occurred when he collided with JaVale McGee when Yao was attempting to guard the Wizards' center. Yao limped to the locker room soon after and has yet to come back.
His return to the game has been ruled questionable. Yao's minutes have been limited this year so as to preserve his health.
