    Rockets guard Tracy McGrady on Tuesday underwent arthroscopic surgery on his left shoulder and left knee with the removal of loose material from both.

    McGrady is expected to need three months to be fully recovered. He can begin rehabilitation on both in the next week or two.

    Rockets team physician Dr. Tom Clanton said no structural damage was found in the ligament or cartilage of McGrady’s left knee and that the loose bodies were in a non weight-bearing part of the knee.

    Clanton repaired a slight labrum tear in McGrady’s left shoulder while removing loose particles there.

    Rockets guard Rafer Alston and forward Shane Battier are scheduled for arthroscopic surgeries on Friday, with Alston’s surgery to repair his right hamstring. Battier needs the removal of loose particles in his left ankle.


    GOOD LUCK TMAC!!!!!!!!

    Arthoscopic surgery is a very minor form, so that is good news, most people recover in a couple of weeks from it....

    I am sure elite athletes may need more time, better to be cautious than Hasty.

    Not true. I'm not sure how you can say what is a minor or a major surgery without knowing. Sure you can have "minor" scopes, but some are more major than others.
