    BEIJING, March 6 -- Chinese officials are hoping to speed NBA star Yao Ming's recovery with traditional Chinese medicine.

    The Houston Rockets center underwent surgery on Monday to repair a stress fracture in his left foot. Doctors in the United States said that he was expected to recover in time to play for China at the Beijing Olympics in August.

    However, back home they're taking no chances with Yao's health. "After the surgery, Chinese medicine will be used to help Yao Ming's recovery," Hu Jiashi, deputy director of the Chinese Basketball Association, told the Beijing News.

    "We've hired medical experts to diagnose Yao's condition and communicate with American doctors and we've reached agreement."
