Chinese basketball star Yao Ming has returned to the training camp of the Houston Rockets.  
 
On Monday, Yao Ming participated the team's last training session before the pre-season competitions under new coach Jeff Van Gundy.

But he may miss the Rockets' first game, as Van Gundy will ask him to practice more with the team.

Yao Ming was the last to get back on the NBA franchise because he was helping China to win the Asian Championship, or a ticket for next year's Athens Olympics, just last week.
