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.

So does this mean that his knee isn't missing cartilage? How/why was that reported if his diagnosis hasn't changed? If it was like that before, why was he playing?

WTF.

	Fran Blinebury: TRACY MCGRADY “Got and MRI this morning and kinda didn’t like what we saw. “Right now, I’ll get a second opinion and we’ll see what happens after that. “It’s been there. The thing is, rest, feel good and when you come back just regress. My leg hasn’t gotten better since I had surgery. The same injury is there. “The thing is I’ve never really had any problems majorly with my body. Pretty much my whole career I’ve been healthy. But this a bad time in my career to come up with this.” Question: Can this cost you the season? “No. I’m optimistic about it. I can get some good news and get some bad news from different people. So I’m confused.” Question: Will you have surgery? “No. I’m not even thinking about surgery right now. Like I said, to me that will be the last option. I’m gonna try to go through everything possible to try to avoid surgery.” Question: What did you mean they didn’t like what they saw? “Well, it’s because it didn’t get any better prior to surgery and post-surgery.” Question: A year ago the test looked just the same as it does now? “Yes. For everybody that thought I’m playing with some bull(bleep) ass knee injury, my (bleep) is real. It’s not just some pain. I’ve got a real significant problem with my knee. So everybody that was questioning my injury, it’s real.” Question: Did you see the statement the Rockets put out saying there’s been no change from the last MRI? “Everything’s the same. That’s the problem.” Question: Did you feel any better after being out for the two weeks and coming back? “Yes. With rest, I feel better. But where’s that gonna get me? It’s not fair to the guys to rest and come back and, what, five, six games later I’m feeling the same? “I have to, for myself and for this team, I have to fix the problem to where I don’t have it no more.” Question: You said yesterday that you just didn’t feel confident on the missed dunk in Milwaukee. Was it no confidence or did you feel pain? “The last couple of games, I’ve regressed. I’ve felt pain. I’ve regressed. That’s what it is.” Question: Will you see other doctors? “Today, tomorrow, I’ll try to get as many answers as possible.” Question: Will you come back after the All-Star break? “Playing? I don’t know. I don’t know. I’m just trying to get all the information I can to try to get back.” Question: Has anybody said you’re done for the year? “Done for the year? No."

	I hope Tmac sees how well the team plays without him and just retires to save us the distraction.

I'm absurdly confused - what exactly is going on? Or is McGrady upset that there ISN'T something in the MR?

	Has ANYONE EVER in the HISTORY OF SPORTS ever had such a situation where it was on again-off again with an injury? Usually its blown out knee (for example) a timeline is set for 6 months (example) and player gets back to playing. Sure there's sometimes issues, but usually they just sit it out and come back when they are good to go. Can anyone name a similar situation as McGrady's in any other sport ever?? __________________ aussie rocket's order of priorities. 1) Houston Rockets That is all.
