Will play Monday
Carter (ankle) will play in Monday's game against the Bucks, Jason Beede of the Orlando Sentinel reports.
Analysis
Carter is dealing with left ankle soreness, but he's overcoming a questionable designation Monday. There's no word of any minutes restriction for the veteran center. Carter has been quiet as of late, averaging 6.5 points, 5.8 rebounds, 1.5 steals and 1.0 assists in 23.3 minutes per game across his last four contests.

Downgraded to questionable
Carter is questionable for Monday's game against the Bucks with left ankle soreness.
Analysis
Carter is likely to test out his ankle before the Magic determine his playing status Monday. Moritz Wagner would likely step into the starting lineup if Carter can't play, with Goga Bitadze figuring to move into the backup center role in this case.
