Making China Mad in Two Easy Steps
1. Emperil Yao Ming's chances of playing for the Chinese National team in the Olympics with a foot injury? Done.
2. Add Yi Jianlian to the potential injury list?
Maybe. Persistent pain in the wrist.
"It's kind of an indescribable pain, and that's one of the reasons we wanted him to see so many physicians," Bucks coach Larry Krystkowiak said before the Bucks met the Portland Trail Blazers on Friday night. "I think it's probably gotten worse; I don't think it's healed. We had some practices here recently where he couldn't shoot jump shots at the end of practice, because it was bothering his wrist."
Gee, I wasn't one of the three physicians who saw him (probably because I am a lawyer and not a doctor), but, hey, none of that sounds particularly promising.
