PrintHidalgo might not be big enough for Yao Ming, but it's precisely where Yao will return to the court for the first time since ankle surgery. This isn't terribly exciting news - at its core, it's just a pre-season scheduling announcement and nothing more. But the people of Hidalgo are happy, and if they're happy, then the Rockets are happy.
Yao and Rockets CEO Tad Brown were in the Valley to announce details of the exhibition. In addition, the Rockets will hold training camp in the McAllen area beginning Oct. 3.
"We are going to be here for a long time," Brown said. "And we think the relationship with the (Valley) fans is going to be better."
Carry on with your lives, now.

This news is huge
Obviously, it’s nice to get Yao back, but this puts away the notion that he may sit out the beginning of next season. Also, it takes a couple of months (at least) to come back from a surgery like Yao’s and perform at a high level. The sooner he comes back, the sooner he returns to being an elite center.
How many Biletnikoffs does he have? NOT TWO!
