The Houston Rockets will be without Tracy McGrady for at least the next two weeks because of his troublesome knee and forward Ron Artest because of his ankle for at least the team's game against the Lakers on Tuesday night, the Houston Chronicle is reporting.

"We know exactly who we?ll have play, I hope, the next few weeks, and as we move forward," Rockets' Coach Rick Adelman said. "The whole point is to get people back to the level where they can be efficient on the court. Tracy?s had it here and there, but it?s been tough. If this helps get him over the hump, then it?s worth the process. He needs to do more work so he can push through, especially conditioning wise. Hopefully, this will do it."

"Everybody else has to just forget about it. At this point, we?ve got games to play and we know what the plan is for him. We have to deal with the people we have now. We have to come together as a team and win some games. Everybody else here, that?s their job. They can?t look over their shoulders or point to for a date for Tracy to be back or Ron to be back. They just got to go out and play. You just have to put it out of your mind and do the job you can do."
