MIAMI (AP) Toronto star Vince Carter the Raptors' game Saturday night against Miami after injuring his jaw in a fall.

Carter was injured in the third quarter when he got tangled up with an official near the baseline and tumbled behind the basket after losing his balance. Carter stayed on the ground for a few minutes before being escorted to the locker room.

CHICAGO -- Chicago and Toronto have agreed to a six-player trade that will send Jalen Rose to the Raptors for Antonio Davis, Bulls general manager John Paxson said Saturday night.

The deal is pending league approval Monday.

The Bulls will also ship Lonny Baxter and Donyell Marshall to the Raptors and get Toronto's Jerome Williams and Chris Jeffries.

"We're giving up talented players," Paxson said, adding that the presence of Davis and Williams will help the Bulls on the inside where they have young and erratic prep-to-pros Eddy Curry and Tyson Chandler.

"This is hard to do, but I think it's right for the organization right now," Paxson said. "It's been a long tough week in a lot of ways. I think we're in position now where we got a big basketball team. We've still got issues and I don't expect miracles right away, but I expect us to be a competitive team."

Paxson fired coach Bill Cartwright last Monday after Chicago lost 10 of its 14 games. Then on Friday, he named Scott Skiles to replace him. The Bulls are 4-12 overall.

Rose, a small forward in his 10th NBA season, is averaging 13.3 points -- third best on the team -- but has shot just 38 percent from the field this season. He would give Toronto, which has struggled to score points, an offensive punch. He came to the Bulls in February 2002 in a trade from the Pacers.

"Antonio Davis can't help but be a good influence on the other guys and Jerome Williams hustles all the time. He gets up and down the floor," Skiles said.

"Sometimes you have to give good things up for things that make more sense at the time. I think we've become a more physical and tougher team that can rebound and defend better," Paxson said.

Marshall, averaging 8.7 points and six rebounds, said he got a phone call Saturday from Paxson telling him of the deal.

"I feel a little in shock right now. I kept hearing about it for a week and a half now," Marshall said.

"Usually when trade rumors go around that long, usually they're dead. I was laying at home getting ready to come into the second practice and my phone rang and it was Pax," he said.

"I've been in this league 10 years. I know it's a business, I know you gotta do what you've got to do to make this team better. I guess it was a trade that both teams felt they got something good out of it."

When asked about the trade, Raptors spokesman Jim LaBumbard said Davis and Williams wouldn't be in uniform for Saturday night's game at Miami and that they were "involved in trade talks."

"We hope to have something done in the next 48 hours," LaBumbard said. He wouldn't comment further.

The Bulls don't play until Monday night.

Veteran Scottie Pippen, who returned to Chicago this season to provide leadership, said it's tough to see Rose and Marshall depart, but it's all part of the business.

"Davis will give us some toughness inside and Williams has a lot of energy and enthusiasm," Pippen said. "We got veteran guys who know how to play the game. I think it should make us better."

TORONTO (AP) Glen Grunwald has watched the Raptors score 65 points or fewer four times already this season. The Toronto general manager plans to do something about that _ soon.

``It's obviously an issue that we have to address,'' Grunwald said Tuesday. ``We've had some stinker games.''

The Raptors scored just 62 points in Sunday's loss to Milwaukee, lowering their season average to 76.6. Toronto is on pace to break the record-low set by the post-Jordan Chicago Bulls of 1999, who averaged only 81.9 points.

In an effort to spark the offense, Grunwald has discussed a trade with the Bulls involving Toronto's Antonio Davis and Chicago's Jalen Rose.

``We've haven't done as well as we want,'' said Grunwald, whose team is 6-7 under first-year coach Kevin O'Neill. ``I've talked to a lot of players. I talked to them about the rumors.''

Grunwald has spoken to Davis about a possible trade, and he hasn't told Davis the deal is off.

Davis has said that he would not mind being traded from Toronto. His wife and his 8-year-old twin boys live in Chicago. Davis was initially upset when he learned about a possible trade from relatives who heard it about it from a Chicago radio station on Friday.

``I'm glad Glen called and we talked,'' he said. ``Glen called me and we had a good conversation about a lot of different things.''

Davis, averaging 8.0 points and 9.5 rebounds, has tried to not let the trade talk affect his play, but he's noticed a different locker room since rumors surfaced Friday.

``There is a lot of silence,'' Davis said. ``I don't know what to say to them. They don't know what to say to me. It's really tough as teammates.''

O'Neill said his team hasn't been adversely affected by trade talk. The Raptors are 1-1 since Friday.

O'Neill blames back-to-back games for the struggling offense. Toronto is 0-4 in the second of consecutive games.

``If you take away our four back-to-back performances, which are all sub-70 performances, we are not the worst,'' he said. ``Right now, we are not shooting the ball particularly well from certain spots, and that will get better as we play more.''

O'Neill spent last season with the Detroit Pistons where he oversaw a defense that allowed the fewest points in the NBA at 87.7. Michael Curry, a defensive specialist, started for the Pistons last year and is starting for Toronto this season despite averaging just 3.7 points. O'Neill said he won't change the starting lineup yet.

Morris Peterson, Alvin Williams, Jerome Williams and Davis have struggled to score under O'Neill's controlled, halfcourt offense.

``I don't want to get into trouble, man,'' Davis said. ``We haven't gotten to the point where we can go out there and continue to do the things that we've been doing the last few years in order to put some points up on the board.

``We're all trying to buy into this system, and do as best as we can to listen to Coach. Until we figure out how to get our points in this system, we're going to struggle.''

Talks broke down Saturday between Paxson and Raptors general manager Glen Grunwald, who discussed a deal sending Jalen Rose and Donyell Marshall to Toronto for Antonio Davis, Morris Peterson and Michael Bradley. Grunwald wanted to include Alvin Williams, and when Paxson refused because of Williams' health concerns, talks stopped.

But both sides still would like to get something done, and now that the media coverage of the trade possibility has subsided, talks are expected to resume.

The update on a potential trade with Toronto, according to Chicago Tribune writer K.C. Johnson, is that there isn't one. Three days of intensive discussions involving several names and many variations went nowhere Sunday, with all indications pointing to Toronto pulling away from the table for now.

The latest version had Rose and Marshall going north of the border for Morris Peterson, Michael Bradley and Antonio Davis, who has a trade kicker in his contract that makes the salaries work under the collective-bargaining agreement.

But despite the Raptors scoring just 62 points in a home matinee loss to Milwaukee on Sunday, league sources said Toronto is hesitant to pull the trigger. The teams will talk again this week, but there is less optimism that a deal will happen.

Bulls general manager John Paxson, while declining to comment on trade talks, did address the potential fallout of having disgruntled players remain after being so openly shopped.

"I'm not concerned because I plan on addressing it with them," Paxson said. "My biggest disappointment is someone let this out, and that puts players in a horrible position. But that's my job, to smooth things over."

Rose said the dynamic wouldn't be a problem.

"I've never seen the situation as being personal," he said. "It's the nature of the business and the business that I chose. We're not robots. But anytime you're a public figure, it comes with the territory."

The Bulls and Toronto Raptors continued trade talks Saturday night, but a deal is not expected to be completed today, according to league sources. The teams discussed sending Jalen Rose and Donyell Marshall to the Raptors for Antonio Davis, Morris Peterson and a throw-in player to match salaries, a source said.

''Several names are being tossed around,'' a source said.

ATLANTA (AP) Rookie forward Jason Kapono replaced Darius Miles in the Cleveland Cavaliers' starting lineup for the first time this season in Saturday night's game against the Atlanta Hawks.

The Cavaliers, attempting to snap a 28-game road losing streak, also were without forward Carlos Boozer, who missed his third straight game with a sprained ankle.

Kapono, a second-round pick out of UCLA, averaged 2.5 points in his six games. Coach Paul Silas put in Kapono to replace Miles, who entered with an 11.3 scoring average, to begin the second half of a 97-83 home loss Friday night to Minnesota.

Guard Ricky Davis, the subject of recent trade rumors involving Chicago guard Jalen Rose going to Toronto, was in the starting lineup for the Cavaliers.

Davis, whose 15.2 scoring average entering Saturday's game was second on the Cavaliers to LeBron James, acknowledged hearing his name also mentioned in potential deals with Indiana or Portland.

``I've just been hearing it around everywhere, really,'' Davis said. ``It makes you think it's true when you hear it everywhere.''

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) Jason Kidd sat out the New Jersey Nets' game with the Toronto Raptors on Saturday with a sore left knee.

The swelling that has prevented Kidd from practicing the last three days has gone down, but Nets coach Byron Scott opted to give Kidd the day as a precautionary measure.

Kidd was not available for comment before the game.

Zoran Planinic started at point guard for Kidd, who now has missed three games in two-plus seasons in New Jersey.

The two-time defending Eastern Conference champion Nets won't play again until Tuesday, so the rest will give Kidd a full week off.

When asked about Yesterday's trade rumor that would send Antawn Jamison and Tony Delk to Toronto for Antonio Davis, Dallas Mavericks Owner Mark Cuban flat out denied anything was happening.

"Hell, no," Cuban e-mailed back, when asked if there was any substance to the suggestions.

The Toronto could be pulling off a blockbuster deal this weekend.

"The proposed trade would ship the increasingly disgruntled Davis to Chicago along with Jerome Williams, a fan favorite, and Morris Peterson, who has been on the block for weeks. In return, the Bulls would send forwards Donyell Marshall, Eddie Robinson and Marcus Fizer to Toronto, along with Rose."
