ORLANDO, Fla. (AP)—Orlando Magic guard Vince Carter(notes) was sidelined against the Phoenix Suns on Wednesday night with a sprained left ankle.

Carter was first injured Friday against New Jersey. Magic coach Stan Van Gundy said Carter aggravated the ankle again Tuesday night versus Detroit. Carter’s status is day to day.

The 32-year-old guard was Orlando’s biggest acquisition this summer. The Magic acquired Carter from New Jersey in a trade that sent Courtney Lee(notes), Rafer Alston(notes) and Tony Battie(notes) to the Nets. Orlando also received Ryan Anderson(notes).

Meanwhile, small forward Mickael Pietrus(notes) returned to the Magic’s lineup Wednesday after missing two straight games with flu-like symptoms.

    I had Carter in my starting lineup in my Roto league, will this game count as a game played?

    At one time he was up there with Allan, Mac Grady and Kobe, Kobe adjusted his game to match his mileage, Cartrer hasn't. and that's a lack of dedication. You Kobe haters, realize the gym time he puts in to make those moves so "effortlessly". Carter never had that love of the game, just the glitz. he is an all-star not a all-Pro baller.
