| Reports: Rockets' Yao Ming will retire
Quote:
Houston Rockets center Yao Ming has decided to retire after nine NBA seasons, Yahoo! Sports and the Houston Chronicle have reported, citing league sources.
Yao
Yao
Yao's contract had expired after this past season with the Rockets, who have missed the playoffs the last two seasons.
They played nearly all of that time without Yao as he battled various injuries. He was limited to five games last season after missing all of 2009-10.
"We'd all be really happy if Yao comes back to play, and I hope he can," new Rockets coach Kevin McHale said when he was introduced last month. "I think he'll give it his best shot. His body is going to dictate if he can come back and play. That's all going to be laid out in the future.
"But who wouldn't like Yao Ming, a big guy who can really make shots, just a huge force in the middle? That's out of my control. We'll see where that goes."
In May, Yao said his surgically repaired left ankle was healing properly and he wanted to remain with the Rockets.
But Yao, who had surgery in January, said he wouldn't know until this summer if he'd be able to play again. He became a restricted free agent July 1.
Yao would finish with a 19 points-per-game average with 9.2 rebounds in his seven-plus seasons.
Information from The Associated Press was used in this report.

yao ming made a larger impact than jordan did promoting the nba world wide
most nba all star votes ever and largest partner deals? I read an article about it how he will still be making a fortune if he retires now... Fans in china feel ashamed wearing his jersey from what i heard Every post must end with to contribute to our beloved yao ming. | |
