Cleared to play Thursday
Carter (ankle) is available for Thursday's game against the Mavericks.
Analyse
Carter did not play in the Magic's 126-109 win over the Wizards on Tuesday due to right ankle soreness. The veteran center has been given the green light to return Thursday, which should bump Goga Bitadze out of the Magic's starting lineup. Carter has averaged 10.7 points, 9.8 rebounds and 2.0 assists over 31.3 minutes per game since the All-Star break.

Game-time call Thursday
Carter (ankle) participated in Thursday's morning shootaround, Jason Beede of the Orlando Sentinel reports.
Analyse
Carter missed Tuesday's game against the Wizards and remains day-to-day with a questionable tag. From what it sounds like, both Carter and Anthony Black (quadriceps) could be game-time calls. If Carter is unable to play, Goga Bitadze and Moritz Wagner will likely pick up the slack.

Iffy for Thursday
Carter is questionable for Thursday's game against Dallas with a sore left ankle.
Analyse
Carter is in danger of missing consecutive outings with the ailment. Goga Bitadze would likely start at center if Carter is out again, with Moritz Wagner filling out the backup minutes in this case.

Won't go Tuesday
Carter (ankle) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Wizards, Jason Beede of the Orlando Sentinel reports.
Analyse
Carter was a late addition to the injury report due to left ankle soreness and will miss his first game since Jan. 11. With the big man sidelined, Moritz Wagner and Jonathan Isaac are candidates for increased minutes, while Goga Bitadze could enter the rotation. Carter's next opportunity to play will come Thursday against Dallas.

Late addition to injury report
Carter is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Wizards due to left ankle soreness.
Analyse
Carter was added to the injury report 90 minutes ahead of tipoff, so the issue appears to have popped up at the last second. He's appeared in 19 straight games for the Magic, and he'll presumably need to prove his health during warmups to extend this streak.
