Advertiser Staff and News Services

Bill Duffy, the agent for former University of Hawai'i basketball star Anthony Carter, is expected to pay the difference on a potential $4.1 million contract Carter lost with the Miami Heat, according to reports by the Miami Herald and ESPN.com.

A mixup cost Anthony Carter a $4.1 million deal.

Carter, 28, signed a two-year contract with the San Antonio Spurs last week. Financial details of the contract have not been released but it is expected to be for less than $1 million per season.

Carter, a 6-foot-2 point guard, lost out on a $4.1 million contract with the Heat for the upcoming season because he and Duffy failed to exercise an option clause before a June 30 deadline.

"It was just a mixup with my agent, but we squared it away," Carter told television station WFOR in Miami. "It's not my fault, it's not the Heat's fault. It's just something that happened.

"My agent is a great person. We got that squared away where he's going to take care of the rest of it."
