ORLANDO, Fla., Oct. 19 (UPI) -- Grant Hill had 17 points and nine rebounds and Mike Miller added 16 before leaving with an injury Friday night as the Orlando Magic posted a 112-93 exhibition victory over the Houston Rockets.
Hill, acquired in a sign-and-trade with the Detroit Pistons before last season, also handed out seven assists in 30 minutes. The All-Star forward played just four games last season before undergoing season-ending surgery on a broken ankle.
McGrady, acquired from the Toronto Raptors before last season, became Orlando's No. 1 option in Hill's absence and averaged 26.8 points and 7.5 rebounds last season. But the 22-year-old All-Star swingman sat out his second straight game with a strained lower back.
Miller, one of the better pure shooters in the league who was named Rookie of the Year last season, left the game in the third period with a chip fracture of the fifth metatarsal in his right foot. He is expected to be out at least four weeks.
Cuttino Mobley scored 17 points and Dan Langhi added 14 for Houston (2-3), which shot just 40 percent from the floor. Eddie Griffin, who was acquired in a draft-day deal after the New Jersey Nets selected him with the seventh pick, did not play.
Houston point guard Steve Francis sat out with knee tendinitis and center Kelvin Cato did not play due to a sprained right wrist.
