A few days ago, a story came out in the Shanghai Daily that 19-year-old Xu Yong (徐咏), a forward on China's men's national basketball team, was diagnosed with
"potential bone cancer" and he was leaving the national team. A subsequent story said that he was "facing a tragic future" and had a 70 percent chance of having cancer. The most recent story is that the growth he has in his left leg is
just a cyst and he will be fine. Xu plays for the Chinese Basketball Association's Shanghai Xiyang. He averaged 18 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists last season.
