An MRI exam has revealed nothing more than a bone bruse on Yao Ming's right foot, meaning the Rockets not only dodged a bullet with their All-Star, but he may be back in uniform by the time Houston takes on New Orleans on Monday night.

?He?s fine,? said Coach Rick Adelman at the conclusion of Sunday?s practice. ?He didn?t do anything today, but everybody tells me that he?s going to be fine tomorrow so that?s what we?re anticipating.

?I think any big guy who?s had problems, when something happens you?re always worried about it, but [Rockets? head athletic trainer] Keith [Jones] didn?t seem concerned about it at any time. It didn?t seem like it was bothering him that much, it was just sore.?
