T-Mac to Miss Media Day

Yesterday, the Houston Rockets announced Tracy McGrady will miss Media Day on Monday, October 1, in order to attend funeral services for his grandfather, Eddie McGrady, in Auburndale, Florida.

“This is obviously a very difficult time for Tracy,” said Rockets Owner Leslie Alexander. “We offer our condolences and support for the entire family. Tracy will join the team in Austin once he has had time to grieve with his loved ones and his family obligations are complete.”

My condolences to Tracy and his family.


Mutombo Press Conference

On a brighter note, prior to Monday's Media Day, the Rockets will hold a press conference to announce the re-signing of center Dikembe Mutombo.
