Tracy McGrady
HOUSTON -- Houston Rockets star Tracy McGrady will miss three weeks because of back spasms, coach Jeff Van Gundy said.
McGrady hurt his back in practice Friday when he landed awkwardly after a baseline layup, trainer Keith Jones said. The injury is a recurrence of a back problem that plagued McGrady when he played in Orlando, Jones said.
Jones said McGrady went to the hospital on Friday night and tests showed the injury wasn't as serious as it's been in the past.
"All that structural stuff was good," Jones said. "This is more of a compression injury and basically a bruise around the spine -- not the spinal cord, but the spine itself."

Well I just got done posting about how well I feel the Rockets will play this year and guess what happens. McGrady goes down with a back injury and will be sidelined for 3 weeks. This is the type of injury that could linger too. The Rockets will not win many games without Tracy. He is their go to man, their main scorer, their leader. The Rockets lost to the Hornets Saturday and now sit alone in last place in their division. Sure it’s only been two games, but I think this is a sign of things to come. Without McGrady the Rockets are doomed.
