Carter's No. 15 will be retired at halftime of Brooklyn's game against the Heat. His jersey was retired by the Toronto Raptors on Nov. 2 against the Atlanta Hawks, another former team of Carter's. His Nets jersey retirement was announced back in September, so fans and the organization have been anticipating this moment for a long time.

Carter was originally acquired by the Nets during the 2004-2005 season in a trade with the Raptors that involved Alonzo Mourning, Eric Williams and Aaron Williams being sent to the Raptors. Mourning never suited up for the Raptors, securing a contract buyout and re-joining the Miami Heat.
