T-Mac on three-month recovery plan: Rockets guard Tracy McGrady could need three months to recover following operations on his knee and shoulder. "I don't expect these issues to impact his ability to prepare for the upcoming season," said team physician Tom Clanton, who operated on McGrady's knee. The procedures, both considered minor, were done Tuesday. (Updated 05/07/2008).
Injury Report
Shoulder, knee - Expected to be ready for 2008-09 training camp (Updated - 5/7/08)
Fantasy Analysis
McGrady averaged 21.6 points, 5.1 rebounds and 5.9 assists this season. He averaged 27 points, eight rebounds and seven assists in the playoffs, but the Rockets lost to the Jazz in six games. T-Mac is expected to be ready in plenty of time for the start of training camp and Fantasy owners don't have to worry about him missing any time at this point. He's had a history of injuries in the past, but has been bothered most by back spasms throughout his career. He averaged a 21-5-5 line this season, with the 21 points being his lowest scoring average since he averaged 15.4 in his third NBA season while with the Raptors. His appeal is diminishing from a Fantasy standpoint, but he's still well worth a pick in the first three rounds. (Updated 05/07/2008).
