The winless Houston Rockets will not play Yao Ming against the San Antonio Spurs on Saturday night.
With the Rockets playing the first of back-to-back games, coach Rick Adelman said Yao has a more favorable matchup Sunday against Minnesota than trying to defend San Antonio's pick-and-roll offense.
The Rockets are putting strict limits on Yao's minutes to try and keep the injury-plagued star healthy a full season. The 7-foot-6 center is averaging 12.7 points and 7.3 rebounds.
Houston arrived in San Antonio at 0-4, the only winless team in the NBA.
