Discouraging news late yesterday came out that Yao’s left foot hasn’t healed. Yao flew to Houston from China to get his foot checked out as scheduled. This statement came from Rockets team physician Tom Clanton…

“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. We will review a variety of treatment options before proceeding.”

This could mean anything from wearing a cast to surgery. I know Yao has got to be really bummed right now. He was itching to get back to running, so this is a setback.

Here’s more of the story from the Chronicle.
