Carter provided 17 points (6-7 FG, 3-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds and two assists across 24 minutes during Sunday's 112-107 loss to the Suns.
After being a late scratch in the previous game, Carter came off the bench, while Goga Bitadze remained the starting center. However, Carter made a strong case to recover his role with the first unit after missing just one shot from the field in 24 minutes. Carter has scored in double digits just three times this season, and the 17-point output was his best mark of the campaign, though he's missed most of the season due to various injuries.
