Rockets G McGrady sits out vs. Hawks (AP) (sports.yahoo.com)

Tracy McGrady missed Houston's game against Atlanta on Saturday night because of a chronically sore left knee, and sixth-man Ron Artest was sidelined by a swollen right ankle. Brent Barry started his first game of the season, replacing McGrady. According to coach Rick Adelman, Houston might give McGrady more time to recover by resting him on the second game of back-to-back nights.
