Yao Ming’s jersey is going to the rafters.
The Houston Rockets plan to retire Yao’s No. 11 during halftime of the team’s game against the Chicago Bulls on Feb. 3, 2017, at the Toyota Center.
Yao, who was inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame earlier this year, will become the sixth Rocket to have his number retired. He will join Hakeem Olajuwon (No. 34), Clyde Drexler (No. 22), Moses Malone (No. 24), Calvin Murphy (No. 23), and Rudy Tomjanovich (No. 45).
