After spending his first two seasons in Sacramento, Carter was acquired by Atlanta during the offseason, where he will provide additional guard depth, along with Kingston Fleming, Corey Kispert, Aaron Wiggins and Ryan Nembhard. Carter was limited to just 38 games during the 2025-26 season, mostly due to the fact that he was simply not in the rotation. He did play 11 games over the final month, averaging 14.2 points, 5.0 rebounds, 4.0 assists, 1.1 steals and 1.6 three-pointers in 28.5 minutes per game. However, with shooting splits of 43.8 percent from the floor and 60.5 percent from the line, his value remained largely subdued. While he could be a sneaky streaming option at times throughout the season, it would appear as though Carter's role is going to remain limited, given the depth in Atlanta.
