HOUSTON (AP) – The Houston Rockets signed two-time NBA scoring champion Tracy McGrady to a multiyear contract extension on Monday.

Terms of the deal were not released.

Before being traded to the Rockets from Orlando in June, McGrady had vowed to exercise the opt-out clause in his contract, which had three years remaining. The clause was to go into effect after this season.

“I’m pretty happy about that. It’s one thing I can get off my mind,” McGrady told Houston television station KRIV.

Rockets owner Les Alexander said in a statement that team officials now would direct their efforts on All-Star center Yao Ming.

“We hope to sign him to a long-term contract as soon as allowable,” he said.
