HOUSTON (AP) — Yao Ming's American agent would not confirm reports that the All-Star center is retiring from basketball. But Yao has scheduled a July 20 press conference in Shanghai to reveal his future plans.
John Huizinga, Yao's agent, said Saturday night that he was "not in a position to confirm" multiple reports that Yao Ming had informed the NBA that he planned to retire.
The 7-foot-6 (2.29 meter) Yao has been plagued by leg and foot injuries late in his career, and missed a total of 250 regular-season games over the past six seasons. He played in only five games last season, before sustaining a stress fracture in his left ankle.
Yao was hopeful to return to Houston, even though his contract expired after last season.
