The big man, is hoping to come back healthy next year...and if possible, remain with the only NBA team he has ever known.

Yao Ming, Houston Rockets, said, "If I can't change it, I will try my best to adapt to it. I will control what I can. My plan is to recover from my injury first, and then look at where things are after my recovery. The Houston Rockets are the only team that I have played for. I have gotten to know very well, not only the Rockets, but also the fans of Houston after so many years."
