Rockets forward Tracy McGrady will miss Friday's game against the Golden State Warriors after flying to North Carolina late Thursday after learning of the death of his fiancée's mother.
The Rockets did not know whether he would join the team in time to play against the Magic in Orlando on Sunday.
The Rockets are 0-13 without McGrady and have lost three other games that he was unable to complete.
"We know how we have to play to win," Rockets coach Jeff Van Gundy said. "We expect to win. We have great confidence if we play well, we will win.
"The stat is what the stat is, but it will have no bearing on tonight's game. We're 0-13 or 0-16, however you look at it, without him. That has no bearing. I really mean it. I believe we've been playing a lot without McGrady. He was there, but he wasn't there mentally. Just his presence in many games helps you even when he wasn't playing well; helps you because he attracts attention."
Forward Keith Bogans will likely start in McGrady's place. Forward Stromile Swift is also out with a sprained ankle
