Carter (shoulder) was cleared to participate in unrestricted shooting drills Monday, Matt George of ABC 10 Sacramento reports. Carter underwent a procedure in mid-July to repair a torn labrum in his left shoulder, which he suffered during a pre-draft workout. He has progressed through the injury enough to work on shooting again, and his injury will be re-evaluated in January.
The Kings announced Thursday that Carter underwent successful surgery to repair a torn labrum in his left shoulder, Jason Anderson of The Sacramento Bee reports. Carter sustained his left shoulder injury during a pre-draft workout, and the Kings were aware of the issue when selecting him with the 13th overall pick in the 2024 NBA Draft. The Kings announced Thursday that they'll update his status in approximately six months, so the 22-year-old will presumably miss at least the first few months of the 2024-25 season. However, Carter is expected to make a full recovery with no long-term concerns.
Carter is expected to undergo surgery on his left shoulder next week, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports. The procedure puts Carter's availability for the start of the regular season up in the air. Carter sustained a left shoulder injury during a pre-draft workout, but the issue didn't deter Sacramento from selecting the Providence product with the 13th overall pick in the 2024 NBA Draft. Still, the injury is severe enough to require Carter to go under the knife. As Charania notes, Carter is expected to make a full recovery with no long-term concerns, however, he may not be ready in time for the regular season.
Carter has been ruled out for Summer League play due to a left shoulder injury, Sean Cunningham of Fox 40 Sacramento reports. Carter was selected by the Kings with the No. 13 overall pick in this year's draft, but he suffered a left shoulder injury during a pre-draft workout and is being evaluated by the team's medical staff. While he won't be in action this summer, it's not yet clear whether his injury will linger once training camp begins this fall.
