Houston Rockets guard Tracy McGrady was in good spirits during Media Day on Monday, but he still delivered some news that has got to make the diehards a little squeamish.
"My knee is about 75-80% right now," confessed McGrady. "It took longer than expected. I was expecting to recover 100% in four months, but it's longer than that. The doctor told me it's going to be six months or even more."
As if the knee wasn't concerning enough, T-Mac also said he has a problem again with the shoulder.
"My shoulder, after surgery, kept bothering me," said McGrady. "I had another MRI and discovered that I have arthritis in there so I got to have surgery again on my shoulder. That's something I have to deal with again this season."
"It's not anything that is going to keep me out of games, but it's going to bother me."
