    So does this at least mean that they have his situation figured out? I mean, if they can predict that his recovery should take 5 weeks, then they must know something more than Tracy saying "My back hurts this much."

    So perhaps they can get it under control from here...?

    That basically means he's done for the season, and the Rockets are done for the playoffs.

    I hope the Rockets still compete hard and Yao continues to improve, despite this set back.

    Get well, Tracy.

    Well, Yao is playing unbelievable but...

    SEASON OVER!!

    For those who wanted them to sit TMac down for the rest of the season, you got your wish.

    Hopefully this will solidify Yao's place as an elite player in the league when it's all said and done. I just think without TMac, they will not be able to win just enough games to get in.

    Not happening. He won't sign unless it's for at least $3 million, which the only way the Rockets can do it, is a sign-and-trade with the Wolves.

    No this is totally unrelated to his chronic back trouble.

    What a season! :rolleyes: :mad:

    We only hope Stro and Yao continue with their consistencies while Bogan, Head and Skip improve their outside shooting.

    Back injury could sideline McGrady five weeks

    HOUSTON -- The Houston Rockets once again are without Tracy McGrady.

    The Rockets announced Friday that their superstar leading scorer will be sidelined for up to five weeks with another back injury.

    A six-time All-Star who has been dealing with back problems all season, McGrady fell on his tailbone late in the third quarter of Sunday's victory over Portland and did not return.

    McGrady returned to the lineup Wednesday and scored 15 points in 21 minutes vs. Indiana before aggravating his back in the third period.

    "It's frustrating," McGrady said afterward. "I've been dealing with it all season. It's the same old issue I've been dealing with."

    McGrady had his back examined Friday by Dr. Robert Watkins, a back specialist who said that the injury was not considered chronic and a result of Sunday's fall.

    The loss of McGrady is a serious blow for the Rockets (29-33), who are in 11th place in the Western Conference, 2 1/2 games behind the eighth-place Los Angeles Lakers. Houston is 2-13 without its superstar swingman this season.
