Rockets Notes: McGrady to sit out games

Rockets guard Tracy McGrady returned to the court Monday after missing Saturday’s game, but said he and the team have agreed he will not play both games when the Rockets play two games in as many nights.
After struggling in New Orleans on Friday, McGrady sat out Saturday’s game against the Utah Jazz.
“Me and coach talked about it, and I think when we do have back-to-backs, we’ll really have communication to decide which game I should play and which game I should sit out.
Rockets coach Rick Adelman said there is no set plan about which game he would skip, but that the decision might be based on the schedule. He said he has never dealt with that sort of situation, but that it would allow greater certainty about who would be available to play.
McGrady said he has not felt his “normal self” since the last game of the playoffs when he played after an anti-inflammatory injection.
