In Saturday's third quarter, Rafael Araujo stepped on Vince Carter's right foot, causing Carter to fall to the floor clutching his ankle. Carter left the game but later returned.
Now it looks as if it was more serious than a simple twist of the ankle. His knee was injured as well.
Carter underwent an MRI Sunday to see if there was any structural damage. Though results were negative, Carter is still iffy for tomorrow's game in Charlotte.
"It's from the same thing," said Carter, referring to when he hurt his ankle. "I didn't feel it until after the game. [The knee] started to hurt a little bit, swell up a little bit. It was a rough night . . . The ankle was hurting, but the knee didn't bother me. Even in the media room, nothing bothered me.
"It feels a whole lot better than it did the last two days."
