McGrady sidelined by sore left knee.
Houston guard Tracy McGrady missed the Rockets’ game Saturday night against San Antonio because of a sore left knee.
McGrady also sat out Wednesday night against Indiana, and will miss the Rockets’ game Sunday in Denver. He played Houston’s first 15 games, but said before training camp that his knee hurt and needed time to heal after arthroscopic surgery in May.
The Rockets said McGrady will consult with doctors on Monday, seeking treatment options. The seven-time All-Star is averaging 15.6 points.
Houston guard Brent Barry also missed the game and will be out again Sunday in Denver. He has a strained right calf.

Magic lose G Pietrus for at least 3 weeks.
Orlando Magic guard Mickael Pietrus will be out three to five weeks because of a torn ligament in his right thumb.
Pietrus averages nearly 13 points and is one of the Magic’s main 3-point shooters.
He hurt his thumb against Philadelphia last week. Pietrus played with the injury against the Wizards on Thursday but an MRI revealed the damage Friday.
The injury leaves an already thin Magic backcourt even thinner.
The Magic are already missing backup guard Keith Bogans because of a broken thumb, and starting point guard Jameer Nelson is nursing a pulled groin.
