McGrady seeks trade from Rockets

HOUSTON: A person with knowledge of the discussions told The Associated Press Tracy McGrady's representatives have asked the Houston Rockets to trade him.

The person spoke on condition of anonymity on Monday night because neither side has made an official comment. The seven-time All-Star has been asking for more playing time as he tries to come back from offseason microfracture surgery on his left knee. He left the team and returned to Houston over the weekend.

Houston Chronicle first reported on Monday night that McGrady's representatives asked for a trade. General manager Daryl Morey was not immediately available and Bob Myers, McGrady's agent, did not immediately return a phone message left by AP.
