Here’s video of the play:
The 38-year-old Carter is in his 17th NBA season and his first with Memphis. He’s coming off the bench to score 6.1 points per game on 33.6 percent shooting while averaging nearly 17 minutes per game.
Carter has 81 games each of the last two seasons, both with the Dallas Mavericks. He’s known as one of the greatest dunkers in league history -- check out his top 100 dunks if you need a quick reminder. While Carter’s numbers have slipped across the board this season, he’s still capable of making a highlight reel play.
We’ll update this story as it develops.
