ORLANDO, Fla.(AP) -- Orlando Magic guard Vince Carter 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, Rafer Alston and Tony Battie to the
Nets. Orlando also received Ryan Anderson.

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