    MWP, through the media, has reported that he has bunion issues, thus derailing the Lakers' plan to rebuild. Interestingly enough, when Tmac did this in 2009, Adelman lashed out at him, but the artist formerly known as artest kind of defended him. Do you agree with World Peace's decision to tweet about his injury immediately following the amnesty announcement?

    Rockets learn of surgery through media

    HOUSTON -- Rockets coach Rick Adelman lashed out at Tracy McGrady after practice on Wednesday for not informing the team he will undergo surgery on his left knee. Adelman said he only learned that McGrady was out for the season when he read it in a newspaper in the morning.[/B]
    "There should be a protocol, there should be a procedure where we have a chance to sit down and talk about the situation and not be announced in the press," Adelman said. "I don't know why that happened, why he did that. Certainly, that is not the way things should be handled."

    Tracy McGrady has missed 85 games overall since arriving in Houston in 2004including 34 in 2005-06 and 10 in 2006-07 with back pain, and 12 games last season with a bone bruise and tendinitis in his left knee.

    Some of the Rockets said they also found out through the media, but Ron Artest said the news came as no surprise.

    "Everybody pretty much knew he was going through some tough times right now in his career," said Artest, who's started the past two games in McGrady's place. "I knew it was pretty severe for him not to be able to practice and play."


    The star forward said on his Web site Wednesday that the pain has been persistent and he will have microfracture surgery. He's confident he'll return next season.
