Tracy McGrady isn't happy about the benching he has endured with the Pistons.

He has been held out of five consecutive games.

“It's out of my control, man,” McGrady said. “I can't do anything. When the coach says he puts the guys out there he wants to play, I don't really like it. But it is what it is.

“I can't do anything about it but come in here and practice and wait until I get my number called. It's frustrating. It's really frustrating.”

He's been sidelined since Feb. 25, when he and six teammates didn't show up for a morning shootaround in Philadelphia.

Team sources described it as a boycott aimed at coach John Kuester, but McGrady said he had a headache.
