Carter Injures Knee In Loss To Detroit

A right knee injury forced Vince Carter to the sidelines for part of Friday's game versus the Pistons.

Carter drove to the basket and missed a short shot. He landed on his left leg and took a couple steps without apparent pain, but crumpled to the court after turning to run back upcourt.

Carter was helped off the court by teammates, then went back to the New Jersey locker room at the end of the quarter. He returned midway through the second with a slight limp.
