On Thursday, Tracy McGrady denied a role in Doc Rivers' firing.

"You just knew when Doc got fired that there would be some comments out there that T-Mac had something to do with it," McGrady muttered following the team's Thursday morning practice. "I ain't had nothing at all to do with that. I had one run-in with Doc Rivers in the four years that I have been here and everybody wants to take it out of context that I had something to do with him getting fired. It's ridiculous and it's funny to me."
