The Chinese Basketball Association reports that Yao said in a phone conversation that he has cancelled a scheduled foot operation and instead will return to China next month.
It has been around 10 days since the Houston Rockets were eliminated from the NBA playoffs. Ming Yao previously told the media that he would have an operation on his ankle joint after the playoffs, after which he would recuperate for three to four weeks.
