Ben Wallace of the Cleveland Cavaliers will miss eight to ten weeks after breaking his right leg in Thursday's 93-74 loss to Houston.

Wallace said Yao Ming kicked him as the two were running down the court in the second quarter. Wallace played for a few additional minutes despite the break.

"I thought it was like a calf bruise or something, that would probably let up eventually," Wallace said. "But it didn't. It was one of those freak accidents that happen in basketball."

Wallace saw the X-rays taken at the Toyota Center that showed the broken fibula.

"I know what that little white line means," he said
