Tracy McGrady wants to return, but the Rockets are being cautious about his return from microfracture surgery on his left knee.

"Right now, I could play," he said on Friday.

Houston believes that McGrady would risk re-injuring his knee if he came back right now. The next step in his recovery is an MRI on Monday.

"We have a difference of opinion," coach Rick Adelman said. "He wants to play. He's not ready to play. It's as simple as that."
