[Ch 2] McGrady could be out for season (UPDATE: MRI reveals no damage)

According to Bill Worrell T-Mac is supposed to hold a press conference at the end of the half...........

 

Why at halftime???

 

Hopefully to announce he is trading the Rockets medical staff and his own knees for cash considerations and a conditional second-round pick.

 

lmao u aint lyin bruh

 

Mcgrady=fail for TRYING to fake an injury.

 

that structure damage doesn't developed overnight.
that three top doctors and other MRI exams are not likely to collectively missing the diagnosis.
that the wording of the original reporting was very strange and unclear (check out my original reaction to the news).

HOUSTON -- Rockets guard Tracy McGrady sat out Houston's game against the Sacramento Kings on Wednesday night 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.

 

Best news for the Rockets!!!

 

I almost went into a choma and then you guys just woke me up again. Yay T-Mac is back!!!!

And hey guys all of you that hated on T-Mac before this news (now that hes back) ill always remind you of this thread cause of how you guys felt sorry for him.

 

we should have a pool to see what Tmac is gonna talk about. I say he's gonna take another 3 weeks

 

McGrady is both my favorite and most hated Rockets player.

 

Exactly. Which is why I don't understand folks saying that T-Mac is faking this injury so he can get an MRI and not be traded. Did they say it was T-Mac who requested the MRI or what?

 

how the hell do u have a press conference during halftime, this is hilarous. maybe he is gona say im shutting it down for the season or something. i think this whack reporting has something to do with a trade, rockets are prolly trying to reassure hes fine and maybe are making him say im ok im just sore.
someone post a recap of the press conference, currently out of the country. thanks

 

YES,it really a good chance to show the team's ambitious

 

yes this s great news now we can win

 

Von Wafer!!! This is your night...

 

to announce he is joining the cheerleaders team

 

but what happened the miraculous powers of the two week january preseason?

 

Just because his MRI is fine doesn't mean that he might not have internal damage to the knee.I think he should just sit out for the rest of the season and get treatment in the off season.

 

Well he didnt play tonight, and today was the last game before the allstar week. So he'll be getting a full week of rest.
