Tracy McGrady is ahead of schedule in his recovery from microfracture surgery back in February.
"He's way, way ahead of schedule," Rockets general manager Daryl Morey told the Houston Chronicle. "He's already playing. I don't think anyone could have predicted he would be playing now. He still has a long way to go. There is a lot of rust to shake off."
Still, Houston doesn't expect him to be ready for the start of training camp despite the improvements he's made.
"It would seem that way," Morey said of an early return. "That's not where the doctors are. It's a slow process. I don't expect to see him ready for Day 1 of training camp."
