Rockets guard Tracy McGrady on Tuesday underwent arthroscopic surgery on his left shoulder and left knee with the removal of loose material from both.
McGrady is expected to need three months to be fully recovered. He can begin rehabilitation on both in the next week or two.
Rockets team physician Dr. Tom Clanton said no structural damage was found in the ligament or cartilage of McGrady

The extra "h" is for "heart."

Good to get it done early. Maybe McGrady will work harder this offseason now that he has to rehabilitate an injury.

To whom, exactly?
Memorial Hermann? For a bag of saline, two scalpels, and a player to be named later?

tracy posted something on his website saying that the surgery was successful. Hopefully won't be something that bothers him again next year.

It won't bother him next year. Something else will. It's inevitable. Yao will get hurt again too. This will never change. We're doomed. DOOMED.
Thank Buddha we have amazing role players like Luther Head and Chuck Hayes though. They will carry us to another first round exit! I believe!

I am optimistic. I am also realistic. I am also sarcastic. And that, in my opinion, is pretty fantastic.
