NBA News And Rumors: San Antonio Spurs Sign Tracy McGrady, Veteran Eligible To Compete In The Playoffs

Former NBA Scoring Champion Tracy McGrady has signed with the San Antonio Spurs, according to an ESPN report.

McGrady, 33, will be eligible to play for the Spurs during the playoffs because he was not listed on an NBA roster as of March 1. He said he has decided to not play in San Antonio's regular season finale on Wednesday night against the Minnesota Timberwolves.

He last appeared in the NBA during the 2011-12 season, averaging 5.3 points and 16.1 minutes per game for the Atlanta Hawks.

During his time away from the league he played for the Chinese Basketball Association, where he averaged 25 points, 7.2 rebounds and 5.1 assists per game.

Despite having an impressive individual career, when asked how much he can contribute to the Spurs, he responded with a humble answer.

"I guess that's the unknown," he said.

"Whatever happens, I'm just glad to be a part of this environment," McGrady said via text. "[It's] something I never experienced while being my best!"

McGrady will certainly be expected to contribute, especially after the team recently released veteran forward Stephen Jackson. The second-seeded Spurs will need his offense as they set to face either the Houston Rockets or Los Angeles Lakers in the first round.
