The native of China had his season end early this spring when he had to have surgery to repair his broken left foot. There was some concern that the injury could be career threatening.

I think that’s less likely than likely, but they haven’t ruled it out. And next season, the outlook is very good. He just took off the cast for a short period (about two weeks ago) so the doctors could examine it, and everything is going well. Everything is on track.
