TORONTO -- Vince Carter will have knee surgery next week, and the Toronto Raptors' star guard will miss the rest of the regular season.
"I wanted to continue to give it all I could. My goal is to be there for the team, but I couldn't do it and be myself," Carter said Friday. "I'm not jumping ship because of the situation. It's a rough time, but I'll be here with these guys even though I won't be in action."
