Immobilizing Yao Ming?s left foot has not healed the hairline fracture he suffered May 8th in the Western Conference Semifinals.

A statement released by the team said that Yao and his doctors will now consider other treatment options, which could include anything wearing a cast, rather than the walking boot used since the injury, to surgery.

?Yao is not experiencing any pain in his left foot, however, the results from the CT and bone scans we performed over the past two days indicate that the hairline fracture has not responded to the degree that we expected,? Rockets team physician Tom Clanton said in a statement on Wednesday. ?We will review a variety of treatment options before proceeding.?

Yao had gone home to China several weeks ago, returning to Houston this week for test.
