TORONTO -- Vince Carter of the Toronto Raptors will miss two weeks with a strained right knee after colliding with a teammate during practice on Tuesday.
Carter missed 10 games earlier this season because of an injured left knee. The latest injury was diagnosed as a mild strain of his patella tendon.
The All-Star guard has averaged 19.2 points in 10 games.
Forward Antonio Davis also didn't make the trip to Cleveland for Wednesday's game because of a swollen right knee. Davis, averaging 13.5 points and 8.3 rebounds, left a game against Chicago on Friday night in the second quarter with the injury and didn't return. He missed Sunday's game against Portland.
The Raptors, who have lost nine of their last 12 games, have been undermanned all season, and are still without Lamond Murray, Eric Montross and Mamadou N'diaye. Lindsey Hunter is expected to return on Wednesday night after missing 11 games with an injured right knee.
