Since recording his first triple-double this week, Michael Carter-Williams has been sidelined with a skin infection in his right knee, which MCW believes he contracted after knocking knees with a Pistons player on December 1. Carter-Williams is being treated for soreness and swelling in his knee and will spend his third consecutive night in the University of Pennsylvania hospital tonight:
