Tracy McGrady spoke after Rockets practice Thursday and though it was expected that he would return Saturday against the Spurs, the Rockets star casted doubt on that forecast.
"As of now, I'm not playing," said McGrady, referring to this weekend's game against their Texas rival. "I'm definitely upgraded from where I was, and that's a good thing, but I'm not ready to play right now."
Rockets coach Rick Adelman said McGrady struggled in his return to practice.
"He started out OK, but as practice went on, I thought he labored with it," said Adelman. "We can't have that. He's going to have conditioning problems, but if he's limping, we have to make sure he's healthy when he comes back. Tomorrow will tell us a lot about how he feels."
