PORTLAND, Ore. — Rick Adelman and Tracy McGrady finally came to an agreement.

 

They had been speaking often enough that when talking about when McGrady would make his season debut, they were sounding alike, even using some of the same phrasing. So when Adelman tossed out the idea of McGrady playing Wednesday against LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers, McGrady agreed that might not be the best way to begin his comeback from microfracture surgery.

 

“I told him I could throw him out there against LeBron next Wednesday, see what level he’s at,” Adelman said facetiously. “He didn’t think that was a good idea until he’s completely healthy.”

 

McGrady said Saturday that he completely understands the team’s plan for him and that comments attributed to him from the Skillzlab Web site were old and out of date and that he no longer has any questions about where he fits in the Rockets’ thinking.

 

“We had a talk,” McGrady said. “That (the video in which he said he did not know his status) was at a time I didn’t know what was going on. I didn’t know what my status was. I talked to coach. I know what it is.

 

“I feel good about the talk we had and where we stand and what he’s trying to do. He’s looking out for me and my best interests as far as getting back on the basketball court. And because we have a young team, we just can’t throw me out there like that. I’m looking forward to getting a few more practices in and seeing what happens.”

Great news! From the sounds of it he could come back around mid December.
