    McGrady re-injures back
    Rockets star carted off on stretcher, taken to hospital

    HOUSTON (AP) -- Houston star Tracy McGrady left Sunday night's game against Denver with a recurrence of severe back spasms.

    The 6-foot-9 McGrady, who missed eight games earlier in the season because of back spasms, missed a deep jumper near the top of the key in the final seconds of the first half. He started backpedalling, stopped abruptly, bent over and crumpled to the floor, screaming in pain as the buzzer sounded.

    McGrady was lifted onto a stretcher and rolled off the floor, surrounded by several team officials and owner Les Alexander. An ambulance took McGrady to the hospital.

    The Rockets are already missing their other star, Yao Ming, who's out at least another month after surgery to remove an infection from his left big toe.

    Guards Rafer Alston and Jon Barry recently returned from leg injuries and Derek Anderson remains sidelined with a calf strain. The backcourt trio has missed a total of 45 games this season.

    McGrady had topped 30 points in Houston's last five games. He had 11 points on 5-for-14 shooting in the first half against Denver.

    I saw the highlights.

    Man, this looks like a career long injury for Tmac. I don't think he'll ever be fully healty. Back problems seem to never go away.

    True, he's had back problems since he was a rookie. I guess it will always plague him.

    Poor T-Mac. It's always a shame when good talented basketball players with so much potential suffer from nagging injuries season after season.

    I hope tmac and the rest of the Rockets get healthy...I miss them as our contender in Texas

    TMac is a pimp. I dont care who says different. If he could stay healthy and 100% he could burn anyone anywhere anytime. That guy is freaking amazing.

    I dont understand why he's downplayed.

    the word is "chronic back cramps", which was the fear about Devin Brown. Devin's holding up so far. Tracy's back is very definitely chronic.

    I haven't heard exactly what his back problem is. bulging disk? flattened disk? is surgery an option?

    Interesting how many people felt that Houston clearly got the better end of the McGrady-Francis trade last year. But, with all of the injury problems Tracy McGrady has faced and will continue to face, it's becoming more and more evident that NEITHER team got a great deal.

    Most consistently productive player in that deal probably has been Juwan Howard. Who woulda thunk it?

    Devin doesn't play the minutes or carry the load that T-Mac does, either. A healthy T-Mac has the potential to be a superstar and carry a team. However, a healthy T-Mac does not appear to be what we have here on earth. If I were T-Mac I think I'd be pushing my coach and management to limit his minutes whenever he plays, just to protect his back from further damage/strain.

    Swift has a scratched eye. Hopefully he comes back sometime this week for the sake of the Rockets and my fantasy team.

    "Devin doesn't play the minutes"

    It's not always a matter of minutes. Bending over to brush your teeth can make a back prone to cramping go nuts.
