Carter placed on injured list

Carter sustained the injury during the third quarter of Wednesday’s game against Detroit while driving the baseline. He fell to the court and walked to the locker room with assistance from his teammates.

The 27-year-old Carter will continue rehabilitation and daily evaluation under the supervision of the club’s medical staff.

Carter, who has been bothered by the injury before, was rumored to be potentially traded in the coming weeks. However, a prolonged injury would hurt Toronto’s chances of dealing the five-time All-Star.

In 20 contests this season, Carter is averaging 15.9 points, 3.3 rebounds and 3.1 assists per game.
