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.
