Carter injures ankle
Carter twisted the same ankle last season.
A frustrated Vince Carter thought about blaming the Spurs' Bruce Bowen for his latest injury. Carter was on crutches after injuring his left ankle in the fourth quarter of the Raptors' 86-82 loss to the Spurs on Feb. 18. He'll undergo an MRI exam Feb. 19. Carter, who scored a team-high 22 points, wondered whether Bowen intentionally tripped him up. "I question whether it was an accident or whether it was on purpose because it's not very often where you see somebody put their foot right under you like that," Carter said. The Spurs had already left the arena when Carter spoke. Carter was helped off the court after rolling his left ankle with 7:46 left in the fourth quarter. Carter missed the last six games of last season with a sprained left ankle.

Rose: Four broken bones
The former Ironman Jalen Rose has four broken bones in his injured left hand, not just one as previously disclosed. The Feb. 18 Toronto Star reports Rose believes he suffered the injury the first day of training camp with the Bulls last fall. He's still expected to miss at least four weeks. A Feb. 10 surgery on the hand revealed the breaks. "I woke up and I was still on the table, and I was like, 'Hey, how long are we going to be here?'" Rose said. "And they said, 'Jalen, we thought it was, like, one (fracture) we had to fix, but it was four.'" Rose's 286-game playing streak was broken after he aggravated the injury against the Warriors on Feb. 8. He finished that game but missed the next start.
