The day after losing to the Spurs, the Wizards announced that Jordan would miss the upcoming game against the Houston Rockets due to tendonitis.
Yu Fei took the game against the Rockets extremely seriously.
Because it was Eddie Griffin's team.
Before the draft, Yu Fei was considered a yellow version of Griffin and a lower-tier substitute for him at the draft.
The New Jersey Nets initially planned to use their seventh pick to draft him, but changed their mind when they realized they had a chance to pick Griffin. As it turned out, they weren't that in love with Griffin, since on draft night, both Griffin and Yu Fei were traded before they could even become true Nets (Knights).
The Rockets eventually acquired Griffin, who, although his performance during his rookie season wasn't up to expectations, at least couldn't be said to be a letdown.
