Eagles' big-name recruit hitches playoff ride at San Antonio

Tracy McGrady has traded his starring role in China for a bit part in the United States ... for a while, anyway.

To add to their depth and experience as the playoffs near, the San Antonio Spurs announced on Wednesday the signing of 33-year-old McGrady until the end of the season. The seven-time NBA All Star played with the Qingdao Eagles in the Chinese Basketball Association's 2012-13 season.
