LOS ANGELES (AP) The Lakers signed guard Maurice Carter to a 10-day contract Friday, replacing Kobe Bryant on the active roster.

Bryant was placed on the injured list earlier Friday because of a cut on his right index finger.

Carter was with the Lakers through training camp and played in two preseason games, averaging 1.0 points and 0.5 assists in 5.5 minutes.

He has been playing with the CBA's Dakota Wizards, averaging 19.4 points, 3.8 rebounds and 2.1 assists in 30.7 minutes.
