Just two days after Rockets coach Jeff Van Gundy said he did not know if forward Tracy McGrady would be able to play in the season opener, the team learned that McGrady might not miss another practice.

McGrady, 26, who missed the last two preseason games with tendinitis in his knees, had two therapy sessions Friday and another Saturday.

McGrady improved so much that Rockets trainer Keith Jones said he would clear McGrady for today's practice.

"He came in and is doing well," Jones said after Saturday's session. "He had therapy every day. Hell be practicing tomorrow. He is doing real well."

McGrady played in five preseason games, averaging 15 points in 23.2 minutes per game.
