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

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.

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

Yao Ming has signed a five-year extension contract with the Rockets today.

Liquidity concerns, which pressured the market for most of the year, will continue to be the biggest factor to prevent the market from rebounding strongly next year.
