Update: McGrady said he had no issues with his back strain a day after playing his first game since the Nov. 4 injury, the Houston Chronicle reports.

Recommendation: McGrady said he was tired a day after he played 38 minutes in New Jersey, but no more than normal. McGrady did sit out the entire fourth quarter in Boston, finishing his night after 28 minutes. But Rockets coach Jeff Van Gundy said holding McGrady out down the stretch was not because of any issues with his back. The Rockets trailed by 20 when McGrady went out. "I think it was coach's call," McGrady said. "He felt like the game was out of hand. There was no need to put me back in."
