WASHINGTON (AP)—Orlando guard Vince Carter(notes), in the midst of a difficult shooting slump, sprained his left shoulder in a collision in the second quarter of the Magic’s 104-97 loss in Washington on Friday night. He did not return.

Carter lay writhing on the floor near the 3-point line at the Wizards’ end of the court while play continued. His team did not call a timeout, playing a man short while Jason Williams(notes) hit a 3-pointer, but with the Wizards playing around the injured Carter, the Magic finally committed a foul to stop play.

Carter left the locker room quickly after the game, declining comment except for saying: “I’ll talk to you guys tomorrow.”


As new info is reported, please feel free to post it here.

It's quite funny how almost everyone across the country reacted the same way after the injury: "Oh give me a break." Not even registering with worry, and almost KNOWING that it wasn't serious. Vince's reputation precedes him.

Honestly, I DO like the makeup of this team and think they can win it all, but something bad is happening right now with the team that must be corrected...

Orlando Magic officials say Vince Carter is “day-to-day” with a sprained shoulder

WASHINGTON — Orlando Magic General Manager Otis Smith said shooting guard Vince Carter is “day-to-day” after Carter sprained his left shoulder in Orlando’s 104-97 loss to the Washington Wizards on Friday night.

Carter walked out of the Magic locker room before it opened to reporters. I chased Carter down a hallway and tried to ask him about his injury.

Carter being out for a couple games (if that's the case) could be a blessing in disguise.

The team obviously needs some sort of shake-up, and with Carter out for a little while some of the lesser used players can get out there and show their stuff. Plus, more importantly, Carter can rest both his body and mind and try to come back and be more of the Carter we expect to see.
