General manager Daryl Morey said the sides have had "multiple conversations" and that the Rockets "have agreed to look into trade opportunities and granted him an indefinite leave from team activities".

McGrady, a seven-time All-star, has been unhappy with his playing time in six games since he returned from knee surgery in the offseason.

McGrady, who is due to make about $23 million this season in the last year of his contract, has played 46 minutes in six games since returning from microfracture surgery on his left knee. That procedure, last February, cut short his previous season.
