Dallas veteran forward Vince Carter is out for tonight's game against the Wolves at Target Center.
He was suspended by the NBA this morning for one game -- tonight's game -- for throwing an elbow and hitting Oklahoma City rookie Stevens Adams in the head during Wednesday's game in OKC.
Carter was accessed a Flagrant Foul 2 and ejected in the third quarter.
How much does that help the Wolves' cause in a meeting of two 3-2 teams from the West?
"I think it helps," Wolves star Kevin Love said. "He's a long-term vet guy, knows how to play, been in (coach Rick Carlisle's system. To not have him in there gives another guy a chance, but still, Carter can get hot from 3."
