The Denver Nuggets announced that guard Anthony Carter will undergo surgery on his fractured right hand Wednesday.

Carter suffered the injury during practice on Saturday. He will have screws inserted into his fractured third metacarpal to repair the break and expedite the healing process.

Carter averaged 3.0 points, 5.5 assists and 1.5 rebounds in two games for the Nuggets last season. He appeared in one playoff game, scoring eight points and handing out two assists in 14 minutes.
