Magic guard Vince Carter will not play against the Bobcats on Tuesday night.

Carter is dealing with a sprained ankle.

Orlando will be down to nine players against Charlotte with Ryan Anderson (ankle), Adonal Foyle (knee) and Rashard Lewis (suspension) out as well.

"The thing that gets frustrating is we have five new guys and we're trying to build a team," coach Stan Van Gundy said. "It's tough to really move forward the way you'd like. You're trying to hang on and win every night, but you're not building the way you'd like to.

"But there's nothing you can do about it."
