Rockets Team Report (Yahoo! Sports)
Tracy McGrady not only considered sitting out some games to let
his sore left leg rest, he announced it.

McGrady played, but was cut back to 29 minutes in the latest plan
to bring him back from his May knee surgery. The idea now is to have
him play his way back to full strength, but not to play as much, with
McGrady convinced that he had his Los Angeles no-show after playing 45
minutes in the overtime loss in Portland and his Oklahoma City pain
