Yao Ming has suffered yet another setback to his comeback bid Thursday, as the 7'6" center was diagnosed with a stress fracture in his left ankle. 

Yao has been battling injuries for some time now, and missed the entirety of the 2009 season recovering from foot surgery. The 31-year-old center has been out since November 5 with what the Houston Rockets were calling a bone bruise in his left ankle. 

The Rockets have set no timetable for his return.

Yao has talked in the past about retiring in the near future, because of all the injuries he's suffered in recent seasons, and the inglorious end to this season might be enough to convince him to call it quits.

He averaged 10.2 points and 5.4 rebounds per game in his five contests this season.
