In a bit of a surprise, Vince Carter (ankle) will not play against the Bobcats on Tuesday, according to the Charlotte Observer.

November 7, 2009
After missing three of the Magic's past four games with an ankle injury, Vince Carter will try to play on Sunday, according to the Orlando Sentinel.

Our View:X-rays on the ankle came back negative, so the team doesn't feel this injury is very serious at all. It is always a concern when a playe rlike Carter goes down, but fantasy owners should be able to utilize Vinsanity the next time out.
October 28, 2009
Vince Carter scored 15 points in his Magic debut on Wednesday night.

Our View:He played the role of a complimentary player - something he is going to have to do regularly this season if the Magic are going to get back to the NBA finals.
October 21, 2009

October 19, 2009

October 11, 2009
The Orlando Sentinel is reporting that Magic guard Vince Carter plans to try to get to the paint more after his cold shooting start. Carter is hitting only 35.4 percent of his shots from the field in the preseason, and the Magic coaches think he can do damage in the paint.

June 25, 2009
Updating a previous report, the Newark Star-Ledger is reporting that the deal sending Vince Carter to Orlando in exchange for Rafer Alston, Courtney Lee, and Tony Battie has been agreed upon in principle by both teams. The deal is expected to be announced in the near future.

Our View:Carter will be a very nice addition to go along with Dwight Howard, Jameer Nelson, Rashard Lewis, and Hedo Turkoglu, assuming he is re-signed. The Magic are looking to be a force in the East again next season, so everyone, including Shaq and LeBron, better watch out.
June 25, 2009
According to Yahoo! Sports, the Nets and Magic are in discussions on a trade that would send Vince Carter to the Magic in exchange for Rafer Alston, Tony Battie, and Courtney Lee. The deal is reportedly "close", and it could be announced by the end of the night.

Our View:This would be a huge trade for both teams if it does in fact go down, but right now it is best to treat this as simply a rumor until it is officially announced. Pairing Carter with Howard could be scary for the Eastern Conference, however.
April 22, 2009
Nets president Rod Thorn has not yet decided if head coach Lawrence Frank will return in 2009-10. "We shall see. We're still in the process of evaluating our season and evaluating the different things we do," Thorn informs the New York Post.

Our View:The Nets have gone 34-48 in back-to-back seasons and missed the playoffs in the weak Eastern Conference. There has been a lot of roster movement recently, and the Nets didn't have a ton of talent this past season. That could also be the case next season, as the Nets continue to clear cap room for the summer of 2010. The Nets may see if they can secure a Cavs or Heat assistant who is close to a certain superstar.
April 15, 2009

April 13, 2009

April 11, 2009
Vince Carter poured in 27 points, grabbed two rebounds and had nine assists in the Nets 103-93 upset win over the Magic on Saturday night.

Our View:Carter was huge tonight hitting 7-of-16 from the field and an impressive 4-of-6 from behind the arc. He has been hot and cold lately though. His point totals in his last five games have been 27, 6, 33, 15 and 4.
April 8, 2009

April 5, 2009
Vince Carter scored a game-high 15 points in Sunday's win over the Sixers. He had five rebounds and four assists.

Our View:Vince got 33+ minutes in tonight's game, when it was thought that he might see reduced playing time because of a sore Achilles. He made the most of it and was the top scorer in a low-scoring affair.
April 4, 2009

March 24, 2009

March 18, 2009
Vince Carter scored 29 points in the Nets victory Wednesday night. He was 11-of-16 from the field and 5-of-9 from three-point range.

March 16, 2009

February 2, 2009
The New York Daily News reports that Vince Carter intends to play in Tuesday's game against Milwaukee after injuring his right ankle against Philadelphia on Saturday.

Our View:Carter is using the fact that he will be playing against his old teammate, Bucks forward Richard Jefferson, as a bit of motivation to return to the court. Or could it be that the Nets are barely holding on to their playoff lives?

January 18, 2009
Vince Carter was benched for the entire second half of Saturday's 105-85 loss to the Boston Celtics as coach Lawrence Frank, embarrassed by his team's play, chose to go in a different direction. The swingman finished the first half, and the game, with just five points on 2-of-8 shooting. He played just 14 minutes.

Our View:Apparently the benching was not related to the sore ankle he suffered on Wednesday. Carter owners endured a rough week for the typically excellent guard. He totaled a mere 22 points in three games. He is averaging 21.5 points per game this season.

January 14, 2009

January 2, 2009
The NBA has finished looking into the matter of what referee Derrick Stafford said to Vince Carter that caused Carter to go ballistic, and no action will be taken, the Newark Star-Ledger reports.

January 2, 2009
Vince Carter was ejected from the Nets' game on Wednesday, but the NBA will look into the matter because Carter apparently thought referee Derrick Stafford called him a "boy," the New York Daily News.
