Dikembe Mutombo is ready to look forward to one final NBA season with the Rockets. "I will probably sign," Mutombo said Wednesday night at a reception for Basketball Without Borders, the NBA outreach program that is in its fifth year of assembling the top 100 African prospects.

The Rockets made the 41-year-old Mutombo a veteran's minimum offer of $1.2 million in July and likely have upped that to $1.9 million, the most they would have available under the NBA salary cap. "I will probably play one more year," Mutombo said. "Not half or part of a year. If I sign, I will be there on Oct. 1. -- Houston Chronicle
