The Houston Rockets seem to have found their way back into the NBA. It was practically asked a couple times this offseason whether the team might be better off relegated to the 2nd league. But then the smarter of us informed those other bloggers that there is no second NBA league; this isn’t Premier League Soccer, after all. But the team was looking like it was going to have such a tough time that they would simply have to wait out this season. They had lost Artest to free agency. Their team had also lost Yao to injury. He had to have surgery on his foot this summer and it was expected to take him out for the whole season. The prognosis has become better now, because apparently he might be able to jump back into the game this season as time moves forwards. In other words, he’s progressing much faster than had been expected and it’s far from the possibility of the career-ending injury that had been possible before.
