After 15 often spectacular seasons in the NBA, Tracy McGrady is finalizing agreement on a one-year contract with Qingdao DoubleStar Eagles of the Chinese Basketball Association (CBA), sources told Yahoo! Sports.
McGrady, a seven-time All-Star, couldn't secure a guaranteed NBA contract for this season and decided against trying to make a roster in training camp.
McGrady, 33, will likely complete the deal within the next couple days and leave for China within the next one to two weeks, sources said.
McGrady's long-time partnership with former Houston Rockets center Yao Ming made McGrady a popular player in China, and he'll be afforded star status here.
McGrady worked out for the San Antonio Spurs and New York Knicks in the past month, but neither franchise had a roster spot to commit to him.
After 15 years in the league, McGrady had career-low numbers in Atlanta a season ago, averaging 5.3 points in 16 minutes per game. McGrady has been slowed with knee problems in recent years.
The Chinese season ends in March, allowing McGrady to return to the United States and possibly sign with an NBA playoff contender.
Tracy McGrady averaged 5.3 points and 16 minutes a game last season with the Hawks.
【新闻快讯】
在NBA征战15载后，曾经的NBA得分王、超级巨星麦迪将与CBA青岛男篮“牵手”，签订一份为期一年的合同。
作为曾经七届全明星成员，现年33岁的麦迪在这个夏天相继在圣安东尼奥马刺队和纽约尼克斯队试训，但并没有得到两队提供的保障合同。
据雅虎体育消息人士透露，麦迪很可能会在未来一到两周处理完相关事宜后来到中国。在联盟打拼了15个年头后，麦迪上赛季在亚特兰大老鹰队效力，场均出战16分钟，得到职业生涯最低点5.3分。最近几个赛季，麦迪一直饱受膝盖伤势困扰。
麦迪曾经效力于休斯敦火箭队，和姚明是队友。“姚麦组合”的经历让麦迪在中国球迷中拥有极高的人气。 |
