Vince Carter News

Vince Carter was sidelined for the New Jersey Nets’ game against the Orlando Magic on Sunday night with a hyperextended right elbow.

Devin Harris scored 14 of his 28 points from the free-throw line and the New Jersey Nets won their season-high fourth straight game with a stunning 114-70 victory over the frustrated Denver Nuggets on Saturday night.

Rookie Brook Lopez added 15 points and nine rebounds and Vince Carter had 12 points and eight assists in one of the most impressive performances of the season for Lawrence Frank’s young team.

New Jersey built a season-high 20-point lead at the half and extended it to 37 points after third quarters in handing the Nuggets their worst loss of the season, one that saw Carmelo Anthony, Chauncey Billups and coach George Karl all hit with second-quarter technicals for arguing with the officiating crew.

Devin Harris received the text message from team president Rod Thorn on Thursday and then called his parents to tell them he was an All-Star for the first time.
