HOUSTON � Yao Ming�s broken foot is not healed and the Houston Rockets say the All-Star center is out indefinitely.

Yao suffered a hairline fracture in his left foot in the Rockets� playoff loss to the Lakers on May 8. The team initially said Yao was expected to miss only eight to 12 weeks. But team doctor Tom Clanton examined Yao�s foot in Houston on Wednesday and said the hairline fracture has not responded to the treatment program.
A bone scan conducted Wednesday night revealed that the fracture had not yet healed. The team now says no timeline is set for Yao�s return to basketball activities.
Yao and the Rockets will consult with doctors who have previously participated in his care before proceeding with a new course of action.
