Report: McGrady Upset With Rockets
McGrady dressed in his uniform and underwent his pregame routine in Minneapolis on Wednesday even though he wasn't activated for game. Adelman was surprised to see McGrady dressed when the star returned to the locker room and a meeting between the pair took place in the coach's office soon after. Sources said the exchange was so loud that it could be heard in the locker room at times. McGrady reportedly feels as though Adelman has been uncommunicative as of late. "Tracy was just determined to make Rick talk to him," a source close to McGrady said. "Thats why he put on the uniform and went through all that. ... He wanted to get his attention. He'd like to know if he's wanted back or not." McGrady had major knee surgery in February and has been itching to get back on the court. "The trust has broken down between them," a source close to McGrady and Adelman said. "There's some work to be done there."

I was hurting. "Now, after putting in all the work this summer, I'm so eager to get back out there. I'm hungry. I'm so ready to play, man, it's not even funny. It's tearing me apart to sit here and watch my guys go out and playing and I can't do anything but watch." Rockets general manager Daryl Morey said that McGrady will next be evaluated on Monday.
