McGrady out again with knee injury
HOUSTON (AP) — Houston Rockets guard Tracy McGrady sat out Wednesday night's game against Sacramento and wanted to confer with a team doctor about his troublesome left knee.
McGrady had an MRI on Wednesday, two nights after he went 1-for-9 from the field in Houston's 124-112 loss in Milwaukee.
The seven-time All-Star has missed 17 games this season with soreness in the knee, the lingering effects of arthroscopic surgery last May. He visited renowned orthopedist James Andrews in December, after team doctor Tom Clanton said McGrady was suffering from general soreness in the knee.
Neither doctor found any structural damage in the knee, and the Rockets said before Wednesday's game that the MRI revealed "no change in his left knee from prior diagnosis."
The team said McGrady is "expected to seek additional medical opinions in the coming days" and that his status will be reevaluated after the All-Star break.
