Vince Carter: (Foot) Says He Tore A Tendon In Foot

Carter has a tear in a tendon in his left foot, but will wear a boot for stabilization and begin rehab right away, Grizzlies' sideline reporter Rob Fischer reports.

Analysis:

Carter has opted to forgo the surgery, as the required recovery time post-surgery might have cost him the remainder of the NBA season and playoffs. He was already a fringe fantasy option at best, as he's averaging an abysmal 6.0 points (33.4 FG, 27.3 3Pt, 76.9 FT), 1.9 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 0.7 steals and 0.2 blocks in 17 minutes per game. At this stage in his career, he certainly won't be rushed back until he is 100 percent healthy, and that might not be quite for a while.
