The Rockets are ready for the coming NBA season, but all-star Tracy McGrady will possibly not be playing any preseason games.
Though the 29 year old guard wants to play, he might stay on the practice court in order to give some time for his knee to heal properly.
Another Rockets player that will not be seeing any action this preseason is Shane Battier, whom is coming off foot surgery.
While McGrady is not seeing too much action yet, Ron Artest is. Artest, whom is the newest Houston acquisition, had his first game with the team and finished with 15 points in the Rockets 96-93 victory over the Grizzlies.
Ron Artest was acquired from the Kings, a team seems to be needing his small forward services as they lost their first preseason game against the Blazers.
The Rockets have a great team, and they are among my favorite five this season, let’s see if they can be better than the Lakers or the Celtics.
