Rockets star Tracy McGrady practiced with his teammates on Sunday for the first time since undergoing microfracture surgery last spring.

He went through a few stints of Houston's scrimmage, moving well and without pain.

"He looked good, real good," forward Trevor Ariza told the Houston Chronicle. "He was real poised, real confident. He may be a ways away, but I think he looked good."

McGrady was pleased, and appears focused on continually making progress.

"It's another steppingstone toward making progress and trying to get back on the basketball court," he said. "I'm feeling pretty good. We just have to take our time on it.

"We'll see how I feel tomorrow and talk about it with the trainers and see what they want me to do. This is what I expected, to take caution, come out one step at a time and gradually ease my way back in to it. This is the first time I went up and down with the team. I still have a lot of work to do."
