He is very happy in Houston. He likes the city, the team and his teammates.

Yao has a dream of winning the NBA finals at least once, and he believed to stay at Houston he would have a better chance than moving to another team after the next season. He also believed the Rockets can help him develop his full potential in the sport and make him a really good basketball player.

All of our existing clubs showed a year-over-year increase in revenue in February. Our Club Onyx in Houston had an outstanding month as our NBA All-Star Week promotions proved highly effective. We also had another solid month at Rick's Cabaret-New York City.

He'll be ready to go by Houston.

If the injury is serious he will surely have to alter his plans.

Now that the contract is done, Yao can concentrate on the game in the next season.
