Rockets' Tracy McGrady Changes Jersey Number

Tracy McGrady, Houston Rockets star and guard will change his No. 1 jersey for jersey No. 3. The No. 1 Rockets jersey will go to his swingman Trevor Ariza, LA Lakers player who signed a multiyear deal with Rockets on July 2.

Tracy McGrady wore No. 3 in high school. He is making the switch to promote his humanitarian efforts in the Darfur region of the Sudan and a documentary on his summer 2007 visits to refugee camps in the region. The documentary, "3 Points," is set for release this fall. The title refers to goals of peace, protection and punishment.

Tracy McGrady has donated $75,000 to a humanitarian project in Darfur. He had microfracture surgery on his left knee in late February. Doctors say he needs up to 12 months to recover.

Yao Ming to Exercise Medical Tests

Yao Ming’s broken left foot has been a really bad news for the Houston Rockets team and fans. The fear that Yao won't play for the next season (or maybe even longer) grows as the NBA draft approaching.

"The realization has hit them that this is grave," one NBA general manager said.

Daryl Morey, Houston Rockets general manager won't give any comment on Monday and a Rockets spokesman said they will not have further comment until Yao Ming undergoes additional medical tests.
