After returning with his teammates from their 3-game road trip that ended in Philadelphia the night before, Yao Ming was a trooper on Thursday by showing up and helping out at the Rockets’ annual Recyclefest where Houstonians could drop off at Toyota Center their donations.

Click here for more photos of Yao at the Recyclefest, including a photo of Yao not wearing his walking boot (which is good news, hopefully, that his recovery is going well).

Even though there is no guarantee Yao will be playing next season in Houston, or even at all, it’s great to see Yao still wanting to help out the community.
