2009–10 Houston Rockets season

The 2009–10 Houston Rockets season was the 43rd season of the franchise in the National Basketball Association (NBA). The news broke in the off-season when center Yao Ming would miss the upcoming season due to foot surgery. This injury would soon be considered career-threatening. Mid-season, All-Star Tracy McGrady, who was working his way back from knee surgery that kept him out of last season, was traded to the New York Knicks. Despite losing two All-Stars, the Rockets finished 42–40, but did not clinch a playoff spot.

Key dates

 * June 25 – The 2009 NBA draft took place in New York City.
 * July 8 – The free agency period started.

Roster Notes

 * Center Yao Ming missed the entire season due to an left foot injury.
