BEIJING (AP) -- Houston Rockets All-Star center Yao Ming (http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/basketball/nba/players/3599) will have to wait up to a week before he knows whether he will need surgery on his broken left foot.
The future of the 7-foot-6 Yao is in question amid reports from the team doctor that the hairline fracture in his foot could keep him out of all of next season, and potentially end his career.
"It hasn't been decided yet," Yao's agent, Eric Zhang, told The Associated Press on Friday. "He is still in the process of group consultations of doctors holding different opinions and different plans. The result of the consultations is due within a week."
Before that there is no way of telling whether surgery will be performed, Zhang said.
"We are still in the information gathering period," he said
