Magic's Vince Carter sidelined with ankle injury
Posted Nov 5 2009 2:23AM
ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) -- Orlando Magic guard Vince Carter was sidelined against the Phoenix Suns on Wednesday night with a sprained left ankle.
Carter was first injured Friday against New Jersey. Magic coach Stan Van Gundy said Carter aggravated the ankle again Tuesday night versus Detroit. Carter's status is day to day.
The 32-year-old guard was Orlando's biggest free agent splash this summer. The Magic acquired Carter from New Jersey in a trade that sent Courtney Lee, Rafer Alston and Tony Battie to the Nets. Orlando also received Ryan Anderson.
Meanwhile, small forward Mickael Pietrus returned to the Magic's lineup Wednesday after missing two straight games with flu-like symptoms.
