Carter left game vs. Pelicans after suffering leg injury

Injuries continue to mount for the Memphis Grizzlies.

Shooting guard Vince Carter was forced to leave Friday night's contest against the New Orleans Pelicans after suffering a lower leg injury.

The Grizzlies were down to just nine healthy bodies entering tonight's contest and could've been left with eight had they not signed Briante Weber to a 10-day contract Friday morning.

The 39-year-old Carter is averaging career lows in points (5.7) and assists (0.8) while shooting just 37.4 percent from the floor.
