Pictured with cousin and representative Erik Zhang Mingji, Yao is back in China to finish up his rehabilitation from foot surgery and get back into shape, hopefully for a run at the World Championships in late August. Click here for more pictures.

THURSDAY, 6/22/06 – Raymond, our correspondent in China, reports that Yao Ming is back in Shanghai. He is with David Macha, the Rockets strength and conditioning coach. He will stay in Shanghai for the next 7 to 10 days for his rehabilitation, and will head back to Beijing afterwards when the Chinese National Team returns from their series of exhibition matches in Europe on July 3rd. By that time, hopefully Macha will turn over a fully rehabilitated Yao Ming to Anthony Falsone who will continue to assist Yao to return to competitive shape and form.

Raymond also translated an interview that Sohu.com did with Macha about the latest status of Yao Ming and Tracy McGrady’s rehabilitation.

Thanks Raymond!
