Houston Rockets center Dikembe Mutombo said Thursday he expects to re-sign with the team.

Mutombo, 39, has indicated he will sign a two-year contract with the Rockets, the Houston Chronicle and Houston television station KRIV reported Thursday.

Mutombo's agent, David Falk, told The Associated Press he could not confirm that.

"Dikembe has really enjoyed his tenure in Houston. They've done a good job of making him feel welcome there," he said. "It's his decision to remain in Houston. I'm confident that [Rockets general manager] Carroll Dawson and I will finalize officially a contract for him. It's a great situation for him."
