HOUSTON — Houston guard Tracy McGrady will miss three weeks to rehabilitate his sore left knee, another blow to an injury-plagued season for the Rockets.
McGrady sat out Houston's last three games after starting the first 15. He had arthroscopic surgery on May 6, but said Tuesday that doctors have told him that the knee is not healed.
"Obviously, I came back a little bit too early," said McGrady, who was averaging 15.6 points. "I'm just not ready."
McGrady visited renowned orthopedist James Andrews on Monday. The team said Andrews confirmed the initial medical assessment by team doctor Tom Clanton that McGrady is suffering from general soreness in the knee.
Saturday will mark seven months since the surgery, and McGrady said doctors told him that his knee would require 6 to 8 months to heal.
Note
• Donnie Walsh won't say how long Stephon Marbury will be gone before he's gone for good.
The New York Knicks president has ordered Marbury not to attend practices or games while they are working toward a buyout, but said Tuesday it wasn't a punishment. Walsh just felt the point guard shouldn't be around the team while both sides are seeking a way to get him off of it.
