HOUSTON(AP) Tracy McGrady has returned to practice with the Houston Rockets for the first time since microfracture surgery in February, but the seven-time All-Star still doesn't know when he'll play.

McGrady says he can play now, but Rockets coach Rick Adelman has said he's not ready.

Adelman missed practice Monday to attend to a personal matter and was not available for comment. Assistant coach Elston Turner says "it's a process" to get McGrady back.

McGrady was set to undergo an MRI late Monday which he says is "irrelevant," but that the team wants to review before any decision on his return is made.
