WASHINGTON (AP) -Orlando guard Vince Carter, in the midst of a difficult shooting slump, injured his left shoulder in a collision in the second quarter of the Magic’s game in Washington on Friday night.
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 hit a 3-pointer, but with the Wizards playing around the injured Carter, the Magic finally committed a foul to stop play.
Carter, who began the game averaging a team-high 17.7 points, has been struggling. He had missed 37 of 47 shots in his previous four games, and hit one of two field goals and all six free throws Friday before being hurt.
