Will Yao's Injury Affect Artest's Decision?

Ron Artest will become a free agent in a few hours, and it's possible that Yao Ming's foot injury could affect his decision to return to the Rockets.

Artest considered Houston a championship contender last month when he said that he hoped to return to the Rockets.

David Bauman, Artest's agent, declined to comment on whether or not Yao's injury will have an impact on his client's decision.
