Although Tracy McGrady reportedly only has inflammation in a tendon in his left knee, the Rockets' star is being cautious in his return to the court.
"Right now, I'm saying a week to see how I feel," McGrady told The Houston Chronicle. "Come in here, get a couple practices, get up and down the court. Don't want to rush it because we don't want the same thing to happen again. We'll see."
McGrady is officially listed as day-to-day. An MRI on McGrady's left knee Monday showed swelling in the tendon but no damage, according to the Houston Chronicle.
"It's definitely a relief," McGrady told The Chronicle. "I thought I had something torn in there. That's not the case. It's just sprained. I'll probably be out a week. I don't really know. I can't really put a timetable on it. I know I'll miss the next few games."
McGrady, who is the Rockets' leading scorer at 22.8 points a game, left at halftime of Houston's loss at Detroit on Sunday after aggravating his knee.
