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.
“I’ll talk to you guys tomorrow,” Carter said politely.
So that leaves us guessing whether Carter will play Saturday night when the reeling Magic host the Atlanta Hawks.
Stan Van Gundy said he didn’t know about the severity of Carter’s injury.
Carter sprained his left shoulder in the second quarter against Washington when he ran into a pick set by the Wizards’ Andray Blatche.
Carter lay face down on the ground for a few moments, wincing in pain, and had to be helped to his feet by athletic trainers Tom Smith and Keon Weise. Carter and Weise then walked to the Magic’s locker room.
The Magic were leading 50-41 when Carter left the game. He didn’t return.
