In the long history of NBA, there are countless stars whose personal status has been greatly reduced and even their careers have been directly destroyed because of injuries. Comparatively speaking, McGrady is luckier than some of these stars. The injury was not serious enough to directly end his career, and his condition has never been greatly reduced because of any injury. However, McGrady's injuries can be described as varied and constantly refurbished. From shoulders to elbows and wrists, from back to hips and groin, from knees to leg bones and ankles, McGrady has frequent injuries all over his body, and the probability of recurrence is huge, leading to an early decline in his personal status. The shocking physical quality of that year has now become better than nothing. Looking back on McGrady's injury history, we can see how a superstar was gradually exhausted by injury, from one of the most talented swingers in the league to an alternative scene in which a hero died quickly.

Raptors period (1997-2000 season)

After joining the Raptors in high school, McGrady became one of the most concerned players in Canada at that time. During the Raptors' three seasons, McGrady's physical condition is not perfect, but at least it has reached a "quite good" level.

Although McGrady missed 18 games in the rookie season, only 8 of them were caused by injuries, 7 were ordinary ankle injuries, and 1 game was a right hand injury. Other 10 games, McGrady has not been arranged by the coach, the reason is still unknown. But for him, who just graduated from high school and can only serve as a substitute for the Raptors, he has already handed in a pretty good report card.

98-99 was the darkest season in the league because of labor disputes. Each team played only 50 games in the NBA that season, but that season was the healthiest for McGrady, and he only missed 1 game.

In the 99-00 season, McGrady was still very healthy. In addition to attending my cousin's funeral, McGrady missed a game because of a cold, and only missed a game because of an ankle injury at the beginning of the season.

Although McGrady didn't play all three seasons in the Raptors, his physical condition is still better than most players in the league. In order to get rid of the oppression of his cousin vincent carter, McGrady accepted a huge contract offered by Magic and started a new page in his career.

Magic period (2000-2004 season)

00-0 1 season is one of the most brilliant seasons of McGrady's career. That season, he averaged 26.8 points and became one of the best stars in the league. This season, his body is also quite healthy. Except for three suspensions, McGrady missed only two games because of infection in his left hand, and all the other 77 games were attended. Although he left early in the game against Knicks in early April due to quadriceps injury, it did not affect his subsequent games.

0 1-02 season was a terrible season for McGrady, not because he missed many games or showed signs of decline in that season, but because of the back injury that plagued his whole career, which officially appeared in McGrady's life in that season. Five of the six games McGrady missed all season were caused by back spasms. On March 22nd, 2002, McGrady was knocked down by a heavy trela, which aggravated his back injury.

In 2002-03, McGrady won the first scoring title in his career, but his back injury didn't cause him much trouble this season. McGrady missed seven games all season, except one because his fiancee was born prematurely. In the other six games, McGrady missed four because of back injury, and the other two were unable to participate because of ankle sprain.

The 2003-04 season is both glorious and shameful for McGrady. This season, he won the scoring champion trophy for the second time. However, 19' s embarrassing losing streak and the team's final score of 2 1 6 1 negative made his honor the evidence that he only cared about his personal performance. That season, McGrady missed 65,438+05 games, except for three because of attending the funeral of relatives and 1 game because of the flu. In the other 65,438+065,438+0 games, 9 games were missed because of a left knee injury, and the remaining two games were missed because of the recurrence of an old back injury.

Rocket period (04-05 season to present)

In the first season of cooperation with Yao Ming, McGrady's excellent performance and healthy body made people see the future hope of the Rockets, which was also the best season for cooperation between Yao Ming and McGrady. Tracy mcgrady only missed four games this season, one of which was due to personal leave.

However, the following 2005-06 season was the darkest season of McGrady's career. Throughout the season, McGrady was plagued by injuries and always missed 35 games. It should be pointed out that McGrady was unable to participate in all the other 34 games because of his back injury, except for one game missed due to the funeral. At this point, the negative impact of McGrady's back injury on him has greatly deepened since the beginning of this season.

In the 2006-07 season, McGrady missed 1 1 games, and at least 9 of them were unable to play because of back injuries. In addition, McGrady also quit four times because of injury.

In the 2007-08 season, McGrady's health has not improved. He missed 15 games this season, and the reasons for his absence became varied. The right elbow was injured for 2 games, the left knee was injured for absence 12 games, and the left shoulder was injured for truce 1 game. Although McGrady's back injury did not recur, the appearance of injuries in other places has also become a huge hidden danger for McGrady in the future.

The 2008-09 season has been less than a quarter, and McGrady missed three more games because of incomplete recovery from left knee surgery. According to the latest news, it will take him about three weeks to play again. During McGrady's eleven-year career, he has missed as many as 123 games, among which back spasm and various injuries to his left knee have brought him the most serious injuries. For McGrady, he entered the league too early, did not receive the orthodox training of the university, and his body and mind were not further improved and edified, which also led to his talent gradually disappearing and sinking in the injury.
