Tracy McGrady and Shane Battier Both Practice But Others Don’t…

T-Mac on the trainer

Tracy McGrady and Shane Battier both practiced on tuesday.  For battier, this was his first full practice of the season.  McGrady was injured Monday night when he re-aggravated his surgically repaired knee.  McGrady thought about having an MRI on the knee, but decided that the test was not necessary and with the help of team officials, decided to practice instead.


Yao Ming and Ron Artest skipped practice after sustaining slight injuries Tuesdat night.  Both said they will be ready for their game against Dallas on Wednesday, however.


Battier will still need a few more practices under his belt after missing so much time with swelling in his foot after having offseason surgery.
