Tracy McGrady May Play in China This Season


Tracy McGrady spent the 2013 Playoffs posted up on the Spurs’ bench, and while it was presumed that that was likely to be the end of his NBA career, T-Mac recently told china.org.cn that he could return to China for another run there: “In a pre-game press conference in Nanning, McGrady said he might come back to China Basketball Association (CBA) league despite its under par competitive environment. ‘For those who have played years in NBA and still want to prolong their career like me, CBA is a great alternative,’ said McGrady who played a whole CBA season before he joined the Spurs, clutched 25 points, 7.2 rebounds and 5.1 assists per game, and his all-star performance help him sustain his highly respectable status in China. McGrady still enjoys great support from Chinese fans. According to media, in the Yao Foundation Charity Game he attended, spectators made several attempts to invite him on the court, yelling ‘T-Mac’, ‘T-Mac’ throughout the last quarter of the game. ‘China is a huge market. Last season when I played for Tsingtao Doublestar, the fans were incredible. I had a great time there,’ said McGrady.”
