Yao Ming will have surgery to repair a stress fracture in his left foot, Houston Rockets officials said Saturday.
The surgery will be performed Monday in Houston by Rockets team doctor Tom Clanton. The team announced the All-Star center's injury on Tuesday and said he would get a second opinion before deciding whether to have the surgery.
Clanton said last week that the surgery would involve placing screws across the bone to hold it together with a recovery time of about four months.
