The China dragon is still recovering from a severe injury that caught him onto the injury list all along the NBA 2010 season. the decision was reported to the NBA news magazines and Live NBA TV by the Houston Rockets athletic trainer.

Keith Jones affirmed to the sports page of the Houston Chronicle that limiting the playing time of Yao Ming aims to secure the fitness of the Chinese player; the strictly applied strategy onto the 7.6 feet tall Yao will also include missing several practice sessions in a way to limit the impact of the injury onto his harmed foot.

Jones was quotes saying that "24 is his number all year. Playoffs come, things could change. We're trying to get him through April. We're trying to give him the best chance to play the whole season by limiting stress.”
