Yao Ming out for season!

Rockets All-Star center Yao Ming has been lost for the remainder of the 2007-08 NBA season due to a stress fracture in his left foot. Yao underwent a series of MRI and CT scans yesterday afternoon after noting persistent swelling and pain in his ankle. The tests, which were administered at Memorial Hermann-Texas Medical Center, confirmed a stress fracture in the tarsal navicular bone in his left foot.

A medical course of action has not yet been determined. While no timeline has been set for his return, Yao will miss the remainder of the 2007-08 NBA season.

This is obviously a very disappointing day for Yao and his team because the team has been playing at an exceptional level and Yao has been a major factor in that success.

Bulls sent Ben Wallace to Cleveland

Bulls sent high-priced center Ben Wallace to Cleveland. Forward Joe Smith is also going to the Cavs, while the Bulls will receive guard Larry Hughes, power forward Drew Gooden, second-year power forward Cedric Simmons and second-year guard Shannon Brown.

Seattle is also reportedly involved in the trade and Bulls forward Adrian Griffin will go to the Sonics, along with Cleveland's Donyell Marshall and Ira Newble.

In addition to Wallace and Smith, the Cavaliers will get a second-round pick from the Bulls, along with sharpshooter Wally Szczerbiak and guard Delonte West from Seattle.

The Bulls are hoping to accelerate the progress of young big men Tyrus Thomas and Joakim Noah by moving Wallace.

The 6-foot-5 Hughes, who has two years remaining on his contract at $26 million, gives the Bulls another big guard and insurance in case they can't re-sign Ben Gordon this summer. Hughes averaged 12.3 points for the Cavs this season.

Gooden, a college teammate of Kirk Hinrich at Kansas, averaged 11.3 points and 8.3 rebounds for the Cavs. Brown, a Proviso East High School product, played in just 15 games for Cleveland this year, while Simmons appeared in seven games.
