McGrady/Rockets ... What's Next?
Things seem to be taking an ICY turn between Tracy McGrady and the Houston Rockets. Wednesday, T-Mac said he wanted more playing time as he comes back from microfracture surgery. Instead of MORE time, McGrady will not play at all tonight at New Jersey or Sunday in Cleveland. Rocket's GM Daryl Morey said, "Tracy didn't feel like this is working in terms of working him back in. We want to develop the best next step. We'll figure out what's next when we get back to Houston."
