MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Vince Carter never dreamed he would play this long.
But there he was Monday night, suiting up as his Memphis Grizzlies faced the Orlando Magic in the preseason opener for both teams.
His goal is to play through the 2017-18 season.
"I figure if you do 19, you might as well do 20," Carter said. "You might as well shoot for 20 and that's the plan. That's the plan as of right now."
Carter grew up in Daytona Beach, where he starred for Mainland High School and led the Buccaneers to the Class 6A state championship in 1995.
